As an educator there is nothing wrong with that.

Just don't try to fool anyone into thinking you're preparing your students for the workforce they'll be entering.

Education is distinct from industry. The point of education is understanding and knowledge. The point of industry is practical effect and production. The aims are not the same.

And you can understand the principles governing something without knowing all the concrete particulars of an instantiation. In fact, you rarely do.

I know what you are saying. But, almost every major issue I've run into with various teams writing software in production required knowledge of all those particulars to fix.

I also believe learning the basics is essential before reviewing someone else's work. Whether that work is done by a human or machine.
