Almost all of the worlds best photos are expertly exposed. Further, almost
all freeze moving subjects or allow them to blur as is most appropriate for
the work. In addition, focus and appropriate deph of field are apparent.
Is there something about photographers that prevents them from walking and
chewing gum at the same time?

And, to address the first part of your question, which is not the same as
the last about the rule of thirds, I think that technical knowledge can
absolutely impair the production of a good photograph. We have all seen
technically proficient photographers who don't make good photos. They may
think they do, and by their criteria they are, but they are lacking in any
artistic sensitivity or thought. As a matter of fact, we may all be
guilty of that when we shoot something that doesn't really inspire us or
shoot for the sake of shooting. I know that I am guilty of that
sometimes. We fall back on exposure and latitude and composition etc.
without really thinking about content.
