Agreed. But for some of us it helps enormously if we understand the
rules.
For years I was denied the pleasures of gardening because it seemed to
be an
infinite collection of arbitrary rules - far to many for me to get to
grips
with. You know the sort of thing -'prune back to the second outward
facing
bud on the first dry Saturday after the second frost free night'. Well
that's how I remember it anyway.

I have a recipe like that somewhere..........full of smidgens, dollops,
splash
etc. I'll see if I can find it tommorow :~))

I'm trying to get to grips with cooking, and my children reckon I need
formulae not recipes. So I look forward to reading to reading yours if you
do find it.
