In B2, the only thing the author specifically expects the players to learn is at the gate of the Keep: Stay in character!
Other things you might learn include:
1. Some monsters are tougher than you are.
2. Monsters can be smart and sneaky, too.
3. Not everyone in town is your friend.
4. Don't believe every rumour you hear.
5. Not every prisoner is your friend, either.
6. Some monsters work together.....intentionally or by accident.
7. Making a useable map is paramount to success.
8. Weird temples can be hazardous to your health (a Gygaxian speciality).
9. Not every treasure is worth the effort.
10. Things change over time....repeated forays meet more prepared monsters.
11. Sometimes the monsters flee, and take their loot with them.
12. Just because it's curvy doesn't mean its not a medusa.
I'm sure there is more.
