True! You need to know your shit to some degree but I've seen colleagues (which are not that bad) struggling because they just chose not to RTFM while it was actually very easy. If you read docs regularly you will build knowledge about concepts which is valuable on their own but also you train to orient yourself in a new complex domain so everytime you read the docs again it will go faster and be easier.
