The point is that learning a spec is not learning how to program in the language, just as learning how a violin works is not learning to play the violin. And writing your first few programs is like learning to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and The Happy Farmer on the violin. You've kind of learned the violin, but you're not getting into any professional orchestras.
Oh i know, was joking mostly. At that point i had half a dozen languages under my belt and for tutoring purposes i was good to go.
