Knowing HOW gives you the ability to pass on to your readers an
understand of how it works, vs just doing something by rote and along
with an understanding of how it does something comes how it DOESN'T
do something, which allows you to pass on greater insight into how to
use the application (vs how to follow your steps) and how to get
around application shortcomings without making the shortcoming
apparent.
NO knowledge is wasted, unless you don't pass it on to your reader.
