many people like yourself can figure things out for themselves, but there are many people who can't. It should be down to the people who can, that help these new users, and not encourage attacks on them.
Remember this: There is a difference between those that Can't and those that Won't help themselves.

We have no obligation to spoon feed those that won't make an effort to help themselves. In this forum there is virtually no reason that someone can't help themselves, yet there seem to be many people that seem incapable of doing just that. I put forth that these people choose not to help themselves. We give them a hand up, we point them towards the goal, yet they won't take the steps to get there.
