I think the point is that...

... we all know many, many people who are at the level of:

Instructor:
"OK. For starters, go to the desktop.... You at the desktop?"

Helpless User:
"Yes ... I'm at the desktop ... my computer and keyboard are sitting on it ... now what?"

And while these people may not be calibre users or individuals who want to produce ebooks from PDF, the incremental differences of skill and understanding between there and Programming Professional are infinite leaving some who might be expected over time to become proficient at command-line operations just below being able to adequately follow the limited instructions available.

Having said that of course I must admit I have never met with anything other than helpful advice even if occasionally misguided.
