A large part of skills is practice, but a part of skills is being shown how to 
do it in the first place.  Watching experts is not as good as practicing it 
yourself, but you do learn something if you are watching carefully and the 
person you are watching is trying to teach you.

In game terms, if you are in a party, you do nothing while a party member uses 
a skill, and the party member is better at the skill than you, then you get 
some small fraction of their experience in that skill.  If you are busy doing 
something yourself, then you only get experience for what you are doing.  
Intelligence could probably have something to do with it.  A really dumb 
warrior could never learn anything about magic, no matter how much you show 
him.

On the other hand, I have not looked at the code, I have no idea how hard it 
is to figure out who in the party is doing nothing when xp is spread through 
the party.
