I think this is an important realisation and it brought to mind John Von Neumann, who said to Felix Smith: "Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them."
I think I have sabotaged by own education in maths (to a degree) by wanting to "understand" the "why" of something rather than just get used to it, practice and get fluent. The understanding can wait and might not even be important.
