Yes, I have been saying all along that I think there is more than ample enough time to cover all of the RAW flaws of learning new spells in the missed downtime between 'phases' of the adventure.  I also think that the notion that if we can't learn spells super quickly we will die because the very next day we would absolutely need the spells is not actually that common of an occurrence.</blockquote>
