Hi,
When I finally get to feel comfortable with the camera, and use it like the
Leicas and the Pentax film bodies, there are rarely second chances for much
of what I photograph. That's why it's so important that I fully understand
the camera and its idiosyncrasies.

It depends. Another difference between using digital and film is that
digi gives you instant feedback, in the form of the image and the
histogram, so getting it right first time isn't always as important as it is
with film.
I'm with Shel on this one. Much of what I photograph can't be repeated.
The only time that instant feedback helps me is when I'm doing a series
of "mug shots" but mostly I capture moments in the activities of people.
Presumably Mr Forbes normally pursues a different area of photography.
