especially if you understand anything about how semiconductors work

Hah, I've been building things with transistors for 30 years and have yet to fully understand how they work. The hard physics, anyway.

I guess one doesn't really need to know that though, as long as its properties in the datasheet are suitable for the application you're using it for.
