I once had a teacher that told me to stop trying to understand it and

to say that, most of the time, understanding would follow. It worked
then and I suspect (read 'Hope') it's true of Obj-C.
Yeah, my problem is that I always want to understand why something works
first. I tend to think more like a scientist than like an engineer.
Guess I'd better learn how to change hats.
