Getting the answer here will give you the answer to a particular play.

Looking in the book will (or is more likely to) give you the concepts to understand a wider range of similar plays AND to find out something not even related to the current play under discussion.

Agree and agree. I have my nose in the rulebook, and the casebook, all the time, but I also found the Forum to be a valuable resource, a resource that wasn't available thirty-plus years ago. You will all note that it is I who often posts the entire rule, or case play, verbatim, when a Forum member answers a question, usually with the title, "Let's Go To The Videotape". The answer alone is not as good if it's not accompanied by a rulebook, or casebook, citation, as well as the rule, or case play, spelled out.

I haven't asked her yet, but I did ask her to give me a back massage. I'm still waiting for it.
