We're all talking about learning the internals of git and how it works, not it's poorly formed command lines. Pointing out how shitty the interface can be doesn't mean you shouldn't learn how your tools work.

You say potato, I say potato. If the interface is clunky, you will learn by heart some switches and pass them on as cargo cult.

But the argument is being put forward that to understand the command lines you have to understand the internals.
