I think this guy discovered the Most Important Hacker Lesson: Everything invented by man is easily understandable by man.

To the OP: Yours is a healthy, and important hacking attitude! If you really get into hacking, then you should work your way down the stacks of abstraction. For example, hack the source to your web server.
