Reminds me of the old joke:
TV repair person comes in, bangs on the side of the set, it starts
working again, writes bill for $100.
Customer says, "what, $100 for banging on the set?" and asks for
itemized bill.
Repairperson write itemized bill"
$10 - banging on the set
$90 - knowing where to bang
Or, in this context: You or I can learn what we need to be reading
documentation, wikis, and blogs; and with a lot of experimenting - but
that could end up taking a huge amount of time. An expert can provide
"professional training" that presents a subset of all information, in an
effective order - to transfer maximum knowledge in less time (or should
be able to). One is trading $s for hours.

An expert or experienced practitioner is someone who has already done
the above, and more, allowing you to exchange one commodity (money)
for another (working design or code).

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice, there is. .... Yogi Berra
