I feel a bit divided. I notice this group (#mmt) has a tendency towards wanting to enable people by providing all the detail for someone to make an informed decision.
I believe this can (paradoxically) be disempowering.

My general preferred method for introducing people to new concepts is like this:

The one of the left is you drop all the detail at once. It sucks because there's heaps of theory and you have nothing to hang it on.

The one of the right is where you do several passes on the same concept, giving people enough to be able to put the idea into action. There are often ommisions or lies involved in keeping that first pass manageable.
Exploring the complexity is way more fun when you feel like you've got something a little bit (and you're not drowing in details).

My preference is to make beginner resources which follow this path:

1. I tell you what to do and tell you a simple story to help you grok it
2. We explore some of the complexity together, and I encourage you to go off the deep end and try and answer some questions yourself
3. You're your own explorer. I check in with you to share learning and learn from you.

TBH I get really annoyed with people delivering advanced level graduated / grey / complex thinking to beginners. e.g. Dan I would be hella surprised if you didn't have any opinions that could help me get going. Notice I'm using KeePass because you said it was good. I didn't want to do a literature review to get going. But now I've used KeePassX, I've gone and tried KeePassXC, and now I'm wondering why or whether it's better than OnePassword.
i.e. I think while there aren't absolute right answers, there are some kinda helpful opinions it would help people for us to share.

Perhaps this in itself is an experiment, and perhaps we should have resources for both paths and support people to know where they want to jump in. Actually I like this idea a lot. In depth resources are also rad.
