To draw a possibly bad analogy...
I've spent a lot of time studying the mechanics of the small aircraft I
(nowhere near often enough, now) fly. The reason is simple: If things go to
hell in a handbasket, the knowledge might just save my butt as it pops
unbidden into my mind. While this is obviously not of the same degree of
life-saving seriousness, the basic principle applies: stash the facts away,
and when you need them most, they'll be there, ready for you to use.
