What Kimo taught Silver applies to many academic disciplines and  
fields of study:  Most subjects of study are governed by a relatively  
few controlling concepts--if you understand those controlling  
concepts, you are able to figure out just about everything else you  
need to know with relatively little additional effort.  Identifying  
those controlling concepts is the challenge.  Many teachers can't  
help you with that, because not all teachers think conceptually, so  
many of them don't have a clue that such controlling concepts even  
exist.
