    What was the harm in understanding "all 24"? Do you really think
    knowing "all 24" was more negative than positive?

    What knowledge did you learn in "all 24" that made you a worse
    programmer?

    Because a handful drive cars into culverts learning emergency avoidance
    manuvers does that mean learning such ways to become a more skilled
    driver from driving experts overall a bad thing? Does that make
    learning the maneuvers worthless? Do the bad events for a handful mean
    that everyone whom knows they will face nearly all of the conditions
    where knowing the maneuvers will aid them, should not learn all of the
    relevant ones as quickly as possible.

    "All 24" to me are basic and frequently required when doing most non-toy
    development.
