Fair enough, maybe it would work for someone. I find that reading and especially writing code of certain style shapes my style accordingly, similar to how our environment influences us, so I'd rather learn by working with good code—but it's just me.
Code reviews are about finding (1) the proper way to do things (2) edge cases, bugs, and the right architecture. Code reviews are not academic at all. They do require someone with a lot of experience.
