I agree about not needing to understand the machinery in *most* cases. When the environment changes and you need a gears level model of which practices are still well adapted and which now have hidden downsides understanding the machinery becomes useful. Of course this gets super complicated when one of the things you are investigating is the tendency to need to understand things and the hidden downsides of *that*. :)
Thanks!
