That's a fairly good point.  I think that with a bit of shepherding from
more experient documentation writers, the ``newbies'' of some particular
program should _always_ be considered a very good source of information
about what can be improved about the documentation.

It takes a lot of empathy and practice to ``get into the shoes'' of a
new user when you are already an experienced developer.  On the other
hand, if you *are* a newbie it costs nothing at all :-)
