It is quite possible to have both. For instance, I know all the science 
behind HTML and how it works. Yet I still consider it magic when I do 
something in an HTML file and the browser displays it. :-)

I have a friend who intensely dislikes synthesizer music. To his ears, 
it all sounds "dry as dust ... the musician doesn't have a relationship 
with their instrument ... Lifeless." But he's the guy who prefers to 
listen to Baroque or Classical music played on period instruments, anyway.
