      I disagree.

      Picture… I dunno, a plumber. Hates computers but he knows to click the thing to update.

        Now picture a different, more computer-curious plumber. He doesn’t hate computers, so he reads two pages on a wiki and now can at least spot when the url has changed or when the diff added some new step that wasn’t there before. You don’t need computer science degree to see that there is a new command that weren’t previously, and google that command.
