At the end of Menochos (110a) we find, "Said R' Yitzchok: Why is it written, `This is the law of the sin offering, and this is the law of the guilt offering'? [To teach us that] Whoever delves into the laws of the sin offering is considered to have sacrificed a sin offering, and whoever delves into the laws of the guilt offering is considered to have sacrificed a guilt offering."
