Yes, that is very true. I think it is very often the case that we learn enough to get the job done. If we use something regularly we get pretty good at it. Sometimes we find something interesting and learn about it. I think you will find that even some of the seasoned people on this list will ask a question: "I know this seems dumb, but how do you..." None of us knows everything, so we don't mind people asking simple (or complex) questions as long as we all stay mostly civil.
