Yes, it's nothing exotic. I'm of two minds about similar abstractions. 
When you use PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras, and so forth there are very 
convenient functions but to really understand what is happening you wind 
up neck deep in linear algebra. I've reached the point where I'm willing 
to accept black boxes that just work but I feel vaguely guilty when I grab 
the fish without a clue of how to use a fly rod.
