Fair. The issue with using any software program when you're self taught is that best practices come about from trial and error more so than a conscious logical choice. Many new users come across external references issues whereas in industry it's far less of an issue due to formalized training and best practices being taught. Even lacking those, most companies have some sort of standardized procedure or design philosophy in place.
