I tell ya folks, the only way to learn is to learn by sheer force.
I dig for info and collect what info is available. Failing this, I take the law into my own hands and learn with "acceptable risk". This includes whooping out my trusty "scope" and other goodies to find the hidden "truth".
Iv`e been doing this for longer then I care to remember.
But man did I learn. Sure, I fried a few goodies in my day during the "quest" but in all cases it gave me "insight" as to why it does what it does.
When I dismantled the family TV, my dad gave an ultimatum. "It *WILL* work or it *WILL* hurt." Well, it worked and better then it did. Thats where it all began....and to this day...If I dont understand it..I will, even if a given device must meet it`s demise in doing so.

Life is risk....risk is life...risk life.
