No. The guano is the part about not needing to understand the basics. The basics are the base of understanding anything. I'm an actor and this sort of thing really ticks me off. Everyone thinks they can act--you just memorize stuff right? Right. There is no foundation and no process to be learned. Even those with natural talent need to have a firm grasp of the basics to be able to create good work day in and day out as is needed. Just saying "I'm funny" is no solution to being able to be funny on demand, every time. Training and attention to the details of your profession are what allow you to be funny, believable, and endearing.
That you are able to "holistically realize a solution out of thin air" doesn't score you many points if you have such a blatant disregard for the building blocks of the puzzle's subject matter. What happens when your intuition is off?
Also, the poor analogy of doing Fourier Transforms while not being able to spell it doesn't help your case. What possible relevance could spelling have to being able to do maths?
