These should get most people a decent base of knowledge from which they can move forward intelligently. I don’t know everything and have never claimed as such. I learn new stuff every day, and a lot of the time it’s something gun related. The key is having a good base of knowledge upon which more good knowledge can build upon, and bad info is quickly exposed against.
