I was going to say the same thing... the rating doesn't really matter. You can inflate your rating by 100 points (1600 -> 1700) simply by selecting overrated opponents.

Reading learners have an advantage over visual learners, if you can absorb information from books that is great, if not you have to work your way up through experience.

Check my Rapid rating graph....last several weeks...I am at 1691 or so... up over 400 points by selecting opponents. I doubt this idea works above 2000. To get there, you have to be legit.
