Should surgeon know the medicine and anatomy before doing operations?
Will you go to a dentist and allow him to work on your own teeth if he has no understanding on "internals" about your teeth?
Will you register on a website and put your password in the DB knowing that it was developed by a person without a necessary knowledge?
I'm sure you know the answer to your question and let me underline the main part of it - "on a daily basis".

And if there is no practice (knowledge) then you can't fight (apply) it in a right direction.
