Shortcuts are neither good nor bad. It is their application that makes them either.
Shortcuts are designed to save time, so that the saved time can be used to add value to another process.
To properly utilize a shortcut, you must first understand the right way.
Where a shortcut is used as a tool to avoid the consequences of self-indiscipline, you lose sight of the end.
Where a shortcut is used as a tool to reward deep understanding, you bring the end into view.
