This is for any subject.

There's a LOT of things that you don't need to know. Take for example, cooking. To get good, you don't need to know how fancy tricks. You just need to know the basics very well.

But after being experienced, it's valuable to know the other 95%. Those weird edge cases.

    There's a difference: in this case it's not about omitting fancy tricks you don't need to know until you become an expert; it's about omitting ill-considered features that should never have existed to begin with (or, at best, features that made sense at some point in the past but don't anymore) and that nobody should ever use again no matter how expert they get.
