   Boy, there are no truer words about cooking than that.  I'm not sure when things "clicked", regarding method/technique, for me...I think it was some time over at ChefTalk.  But the point where I stopped cooking recipes was the point are really started to understand cooking.  There's, of course, a bit more to that than just winging it.  It's the point of understanding the basic cooking methods and putting them into practice for each dish being cooked.

Absolutely. First you learn the techniques. Along with that comes an understanding how flavors and ingredients work with each other. That last comes through time in grade, and is a never-ending learning experience.
