Absolutely! I spent decades assiduously avoiding theory, even if I knew some scales, lots of chords, and a usable bunch of licks on guitar. Upon finally diving into "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory", I was amazed at how easy a read it was and how smoothly all those threateningly mysterious bits & pieces fell together. Definitely DID slap my forehead and go "duh"!
It's about as complicated as learning that there are 26 letters and some of them are vowels and they can come together to form whatever sound, or idea, you want.

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
