Your claim that Peter could never have learnt anything is one that you haven't substantiated any time that you have mentioned it.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Assuredly - my point was that there is no textual evidence in the gospels to show that they were written with any knowledge of Paul's writings. Nor do Paul's writings give any evidence of familiarity with the gospels. If one group showed that it was calling on the other, there would be evidence of a sequence. No such evidence can be adduced from the texts. With Paul's writings being so influential, it is very difficult to make a case for the idea that the gospels were written later than Paul's letters.
