No you don't but you do need to understand the concept of account types and moving money between them. I've studied economics at Uni, evaluated endless projects, used a range of accounting software, and worked with accountants and bookkeepers without being aware of how credit and debit is defined in accounting. I rarely used the terms, and most people that understood them would realise the common understanding is wrong and use the terms in a general sense or avoid them. It's a pretty meaningless discussion commercial projects avoid to reduce confusion.
