it takes time to understand that theory - and I mean really understand it. Its not something that is apparent at the onset of photography, especially today when there are auto modes for everything. Those give people an idea that there is a formula of set of setting which are optimal for a certain kind of photography or subject and its only with further learning and actual practise that you start to realise that its not the case at all. Took me a while to really get to understand this pointIn terms of photography, some of the newbies think one setting does it all
As for Ken Rockwell I remember someone once saying that he makes good points, but you have to know what they are first - which makes reading his articles for a newer person rather pointless. Also his style of writing and focus are very much personal and slightly narrow minded (At times) which leads him to make big generalisations in some areas which is not good when starting out.
Still his name seems to really get about !
