Many years ago, someone told me that brown belts make better karate
instructors than black belts because the brown belts still remember and can
still describe what they do.  For the black belts, on the other hand, the
techniques have become instinctive, and the beginners' details now seem hard
to explain, since they've been absorbed into "muscle memory".

The black belts see the bigger picture, the goal of winning the bout, and
don't need to think consciously about their stance, etc.  In the same way,
experienced, skilled, photographers know what "looks right", and don't need
to think about beginners' guidelines anymore.  Does anyone else see it this
way?
