I have simplified the explanation so I didn't confuse myself.

I read it and understand it when I am reading it, but somewhere along the way I forget it..... if someone asks me what it is I would have to look it up.
My Lumix G camera will shoot RAW pics, but I have to hold my hand up and say that I have stuck to JPEG, purely because it is what I know...even though I have programs which will convert RAW data...I haven't used it.
Shame on me!
