He is said by some to have said 50 years with the Yi would have helped him avoid errors.

Good distinction; not that one would necessarily learn any more or less from one or the other. Study can blind someone to experiencing, while use can teach through experiencing. Obviously this isn't always the case, though.
What I meant to say is there are two different versions of the Chinese text and the one that refers to Confuse-us studying the Yijing is widely regarded as a corrupted version. The story of his wearing out the bindings of his copy of the Yi is similarly disputed. At the least Confuse-us is known to have held a low opinion of divination.
Interesting. Didn't know he didn't advocate divination.
