A truer comparison might be a person who became a talmid chochom by stealing seforim and/or copyrighted shiurim
I don’t think that’s a valid comparison because in your case, there is nothing the talmid chochom can do about it. He can’t “unlearn” his learning. So, perhaps, there, the only thing he can do is have charatah over the method.
Here, I *refuse* to do anything about it. I am *not* divorcing my wife. I *could* do something about it, I just refuse to. Hence, I don’t believe it can be a true charatah.
