And I'll just chime in here to reiterate what someone else said, that it's like learning math before using a calculator. Ya gotta know the details behind the technology. Long before I ever started tuning pianos, I advocated learning arithmetic/math before using a calculator. As a computer science major in college, I felt that learning assembler language was most eye-opening, especially the part where we wrote a (very rudimentary) operating system. It's like reading the book before seeing the play, or the movie. There are probably many more analogies, but I gotta get my coffee before I can think of more. Oh, it's like knowing the working parts (and the interaction between and betwixt) before attempting a regulation.
