I think curiosity is a nice trait to have. Whenever I have a question like the one quoted, i just do a quick search if I have the time to do so (and more often than not, you do). Or I just add it to my notes.

I don't bother reading entire manuals either, but I know where they are. And if I'm using something often, I also try to learn how to best get help and information. Knowledge of the shell isn't mandatory, but can help greatly sometimes. If someone implement a feature to scratch an itch, it's nice to know about it when the same thing frustrates you too.
