RC passages

Hahah I’m myself in the process of developing the skill, but you can refer to

Simplifying on Steroids in RC

Can anyone explain why identifying function(simplifying on steroids) is as important a skill as Greg says it is? I’m currently doing RC passages and it seems like this particular skill isn’t helping me as such. I believe in Greg so I’m sure there must be some solid reasons as to why he advocates it, especially in long RC.
