PAgP Learn Method and Port-channel Loadbalancing

Dear group,

a quick question to confirm my understanding. Suppose I configure the
following on the same etherchannel:

1. PAgP learning method to be a "physical-port learning"
2. Port-channel loadbalancing to be based on a "destination mac address"

Then, am I right when I am saying that load-balancing method is
ignored when a destination mac address is already learned (on a
physical-port) ?

My understanding:
Since the mac is already learned on a physical-port, there is no need
to calculate the outgoing member interface (load-balancing).
Of course, if the mac address hasn't been learned, frames would be
unicast-flooded. Then, load balancing IS performed and the outgoing
interface is chosen.
