Mostly, yes. But when the topic is on the edge of my comprehension, having
it played out live on the blackboard is helpful. Watching the derivation of
radiosity matricies, or watching alpha/beta pruning in process, or going
over massively SIMD algorithms, were all things that were much more clear to
me than I got out of reading the book.
There are still things I discover that a little animation will make clear
when a textbook doesn't. Like, rotating a tree to balance it, which one of
these days in my copious spare time I'll actually animate. :-)
