I don't think having a non-readable startup buffer would help, even if
the new user is able to recognize it as a startup buffer.

I like the persistent message in the echo-area solution *very much*.
We could also consider having *several messages*, each of them being
displayed for a few seconds (say 2).
It is the best trade-off I can think of:
- it lets Emacs display a file when given as an argument;
- it lets Emacs display *all* the information you want;
- it catches the attention of the new users more efficiently.
