It can be. But people don't usually read instructions or ReadMEs or Docs first?

I will never understand why not. Did you know:

National average Proficient 34% Basic 65%

That is totes a big ooof and explains a lot about many people. @.@

If I had to read documentation first, I wouldn't be using Linux. We write software so we can automate things, so we should be able to automate away most of the troublesome parts until we're just left with a useful device that does its job.

Well, that also saves money on localization costs, when you're selling to people across many different languages.
