Concepts/Effects
More like an observed pattern than a rule. Understanding the concepts is more important than memorizing the names. Understanding is how one can be aware of them in real life.
However, I realize sometimes having a name for a concept is useful to communicate the idea. A name tokenizes the concept, makes it easier to remember and refer to. And, somehow, this gives credibility to the concept.
