Personally I think one needs to learn much of this from experience and that

accounts of the aorist aspect PRIOR to extensive reading in Greek: the
context of any aorist is more useful for clarifying its function than most
of what grammarians will tell you (IMHO).

This seems IMHO to be a very useful bit of advice. Having done a fair amount
of mucking about in the aspect swamp, I now find that I can, without
noticeable loss, study the NT documents without every even raising the
question of verb aspect.
