Also lets say a key light craps out on you and you cant replace it in time, how do you trouble shoot on a set when you have to do the shoot now.
And yes you are quite right equipment is secondary, it changes all the time so telling people what to shoot with is a waste of time.
And as usual Dv Times er i mean Damian J is on the scene with his trolling expertise.

Thank you for a positive reply.
Yes a lot of it is about how to prevent or cope with a disaster. If a key light goes, you have 2 options. Start again or use the spare light you have with you. This has happened to me and I learnt by mistakes. If you're selling to a magazine or video company you can't keep going on. Unless you want to lose money.
Covering lots of things like periods, PMT, shaving rash, discharge, etc. Or just a model turning up in a bad mood.
The level of photography that earned me a living for decades, wouldn't of got me a job shooting weddings. People who don't understand pornographers use a camera like authors use a typewriter or computer, are clowns. Any one who can shoot Penthouse level and around there does know photography and won't be coming in to the porn market today. They'll be making $1,000s every day shooting weddings or similar.
