I'm a proud cargo culter.

Truth of the matter is you can't just stare at a man page or textbook all day and try to understand, then code. You'll code some mess you don't fully understand, sure, but later on you'll come back and either realize it was wrong and fix it, or you'll understand why it was right. But you will eventually understand.

The people trying to understand it will have gotten nowhere in the mean time.
