No, they're not -- they're fundamental to KVC and KVO; they will work 
with any class that leverages these technologies...

... the documentation makes abundantly clear that a full understanding 
of KVC and KVO is a prerequisite for using bindings.  If you've failed 
to meet those prerequisites then a failure to understand is yours alone.

To reiterate a point Erik made, it is not clear why some here seem to 
think that it should be possible to dive headlong into a complex 
environment and expect everything to make sense.  There are good 
pedagogical reasons why the documentation -- and some of us answering 
questions here -- stress the importance of learning the fundamentals 
first.
