But, who said you don't need to learn it when using RPG-CGI? That was the
main question.

One of the arguments of RPG-CGI over EGL is that with EGL you have to
learn another language, while with RPG-CGI you don't. That point has
been made by people like Nathan.

With EGL you only have to learn EGL; knowledge of the HTML plumbing is
not required, unless you want to learn it. In green screen terms, with
EGL you only have to learn SDA, while with RPG-CGI you have to learn the
low-level APIs.
