It is applied knowledge of LEGO bricks and parts dimensions.
Think those parts not in studs and bricks, but units. A brick 1x1 is 5 units wide and 6 units high. A plate is 2 units thick. The stud on the headlight stone is set back by one unit. A slope 33° 1x1 is 4 units high at the high and one unit high at the low end. And when you keep thinking in those units, SNOT and other building techniques suddenly get much easier.
