Apple as in they were dropped into Soul Society and their actions had as a consequence that shinigami were encouraged to think with their own heads and rebel against orders they did not agree with, one can say they achieved wisdom. You're kinda forgetting shinigami were at one point separated on those that sided with Ichigo and wanted to save Rukia, and those that still rigidly followed orders they were convinced were given by C46. It kinda continued beyond that, except there was never really any situation that would require such a divide again, and even those that were in second group grew somewhat wiser from their mistakes.
