Anyway you still get most of my thoughts right and also have a point. Surely Star needs some "basics" to polish her skills. But the more important thing for her is to understand what she wants to get from a spell, what she will get from it and why she needs to it. It was pointed out in the show numerous times, that she can't do shit when she doesn't understand why she needs it to be done or at least has an important reason to do that.
Imagine two artists. One learns and masters different skills and tecniques to create a masterpiece. He/she likes the process of mastering. His/her flow is - "how to do this, how to learn this". The other one also learns something but just to be able to represent his idea and all. The flow is more like "what to draw, how it represents my idea". The first type artist can become a master, but during the race for the perfection often ends up creating beatiful, perfect, yet, "dead" art. The second type artist can also become a master, but without improving some basic skills her/his art would be not as good as it could be.
At the same time, if the first type artist goes too much into the second type artist's way of creating art, he\she will end up becoming a mess. And the other way around.
In the end it comes down to this: if Moon learned magic Star's way too much, she would kill her own potential. If Star will learn magic Moon's way too much, she will kill her own potential too
