Personally, because I can't justify an M8 or M8.2 for amateur photos, I do apply it carefully to get the most out of my digital images. At my age (approaching 80), I don't feel I have the luxury of "time to learn everything there is to know". If I can make my images look better by applying the tools available to me, then I use the ones I want. I don't feel that I have to derive everything from "f = ma", or from fundamental calculus.
