Randal -
There are plenty of people in the world that get, for their purposes, quite adequate results without knowing anything about color management. But, it's good to understand color management to some degree. If for no other reason than being able to accomodate a new device in you digital darkroom. Let's assume your digital darkroom setup is working perfectly for you now, and without any knowledge of color management on your part. Tomorrow, however, your printer or monitor or scanner quits. You go and buy a new one. But, even though it's brand new you can't seem to get good results. Color management will help you setup and integrate the new device into your digital darkroom setup without a lot of headache.
Of course, you could get someone else to set your new device for you. A lot less hassel and study time involved with that solution. And, you still get good results. If you're technically inclined, however, you'll find color management pretty interesting (and useful).

"Color managed workflow", that's a new term to me, I'll surely look
into it. Thank you, Tom.
