I for one follow that philosophy, the “stop trying to understand everything too much”. Specially when you’re a beginner. There are so many functions in Blender and you’ll basically use 20% of them 90% of the time, and there are so many ways to accomplish the same thing, that you’ll be alright. As you progress and things start to click in your head, it’ll be so much easier to understand these functions that tend to go under the radar, and once you understand them, you don’t even use them all that much.
