Well personally I don't care one way or the other what the notes are called.
The only reason for knowing notes and reading music is to communicate better with other musicians or be able to sight read.
If you can feel the music and play it by ear, what the names of the notes are doesn't make any difference.

It's kinda like biology class in high school. They spend 4 weeks teaching you all the parts of the flower... the stamen etc...
who cares what they're called... I just wanna smell the damn thing.
