Actually, organizing knowledge and understanding in any form is a good thing. I converse with many newbie users, my low-tech friends, my parents, my parents' friends. Many such users don't have the time nor desire to feel their way into understanding a piece of software though experimentation. They just want to know how to use it, in a step-by-step fashion. That is the purpose and use of this and similar books. Yes, even for software as "simple" as a web browser.

The hidden purpose and use of this book is to give the author some income. You'd like getting paid for something you find enjoyable too, right?
