learning photography

I would say this applies to any sort of photography.

Students wishing to study the art of photographing the nude are always surprised at the difficult task it is... The photographer must become critically aware of the difference between seeing with his own eyes and with the non-discriminating vision of the chosen focal length of the camera.

Do whatever you want with it. It's not *my* quote. ;-)

As an almost total NON-photographer, I would agree...

I have a digital camera. If I use the little LCD screen on the back my pictures come out better than if I look through the conventional view finder.

A lot of people have trouble lining up shots through viewfinders. My grandma, for example, always has her subjects over to one side of her pictures.
