True!  I have the advantage that I see designs and immediatly see the 
core of the design with all the fluff removed.  But it's years of 
experience and a good basic grounding in circuit theory that allows me to 
look st stuff I've never seen and synthsize the elements of the design in 
my head and troubleshoot it, right down to seeing it's weak points of 
likely failure.
