My answer is both.

There is an old Irish proverb:
"If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there."

In the context of Oracle education:
"If you don't understand what you are doing any syntax will get you there."

But all theory and no practical experience is equally lacking in value: As I said above: Both!
