> it is important to know the thing and not as important to know it's name Yes and no. For years I did little computer programming projects on my own. Built some neat things, for my purposes at least. But because I didn't have the words to describe things I wasn't able to build a concrete image in my head. When I finally took a CS course and had the words to describe concepts I'd used for so long it was like a switch had been flipped, allowing me to think about problems in a much better way. I knew what many things were but because I didn't have the concepts mapped to concrete terms they remained fuzzy.
