I think that's my problem right there. I don't view it as a tautology, 
but some arbitrary decision that Windows newbies are more important and

Go buy a bicycle. Are if you don't have enough money, simply go down to 
the bicycle shop and examine a bicycle for sale. Does it have training 
wheels? No! Those are sold separately. The default bicycle does not 
have training wheels.

I don't want KDE to be a tricycle.
