Learning that doesn't make you an expert. Just a step above a beginner. So I don't think it's really fair to say that you're "set" if you know that stuff. Maybe you're set if you're only going to be playing people who have never played the game before. :'D
I would say before going into most games i spend a lot more time doing research than most. Especially if it isn't a shooter or basic RPG.

But in reality its all just out differing opinions. Which no one has the right to say is right or wrong .

I would never say you were wrong and i'm sure its the other way around also.
