Well, I think I know what your mistake is, because I made the same mistake for a long time before I realized the error of my ways.

Intuition and deep understanding is important, and you won't go far without it. It's arguably the most important thing. But memorization / "knowing" things is important as well, and if you avoid doing that completely, you're just like a two or three legged stool. You need both, for true mastery.

I can't persuade you of this on my own, but if you ever trust something you saw on the internet without proof, hopefully this is the one thing! Haha.
