Reading a single book is not equivalent to a PhD in LaTeX.

A single book on latex only covers you until the introduction of your thesis. Then you will need to add a table. That’s a different book. Then you will need to align your equations. That is another book. Then you will need a graph. This is a freaking library of books.

I mourn for the time I wasted on Latex. For nothing.

That's not even close to be true.
