It is like learning to play the piano. One can only explain so much, give 
you so many examples;
it is up to you to put in the practice time and develop you technique.

Don't look for the quick fix because it isn't there, this is where 
craftsmanship comes in.
You have to develop an understanding of the workings of an action by 
altering one component
and observing the result, then realizing the outcome of multiple changes.

After ten actions it will start to make sense.  Just like it take a hundred 
piano tunings to get
you on the right road.  The more experience you get, the more you realize 
you need.

Practice,
