That's been my experience, too. What I can't seem to reconcile is that it appears that very, very few people actually seem to do this, yet there are a lot of people succeeding in CS. So either they're all a lot smarter than I am since I have to spend so much time reading before I really feel comfortable with a particular topic, or they're all just fooling themselves and they don't really understand it that well.
