Herschel  Some teachers, in fact many teachers may have that attitude.  The best ones don't.  I was lucky I had a number of them through out the school journey and its a good thing.  The best ones are not even just teaching the subject to be taught.  The best teach you how to learn.  They encourage curiosity and exploring new areas.

In the tenth grade we had a science teacher that a buddy of mine was arguing over something and we went and asked her.  Instead of telling us the answer, she said their is some in the back cabinet go find out.  Once we knew what would happen, she asked one more question.  Why?? We thought for a minute and I came up with the answer.

Not all theory is important.  Anyone know how the numbers of the various F stops are computed?  I do but does anyone really care?  Has not knowing ever effected the outcome of a single picture?  You did get me curious on what a beyer array is and how it affect things.

Thus you can just go out and capture what you see by setting to "P" and pressing the button, but don't expect to be recognized by the cognicenti untill you can explain how a beyer array is interpolated.
