Only you can answer that. Did it put things back that you worked on?
If so, it's a backslide.
Think: "My actions either put me closer to, or farther away from, my goal." Was your goal to learn? No. The learning was a good side effect. Personally, I don't want side effects, good or bad, unless they are side effects of doing things the right way.
