Learning these licks has opened up my playing. But, I feel that you have to have a foundation of scales and arpeggios to allow you to take this information to new levels.
I agree with this. Licks are creative examples of how other musicians apply what it is that they know - some are, of course, more useful than others. When one can actually find them written, and so speed up that process, it's a good thing. The Charlie Parker Omnibook is a great example of this. In the end, all things lead to better music.
