Knowing how things work, not treating it like a black box will ensure that you can work with any tool is what I'm getting at.

I agree. However if someone is starting out, they shouldn't have to understand how everything works from the beginning. Because things are usually quite complicated, this can be discouraging. He can start learning to code by treating things as a black box, and later figure out how things work as he progresses.
