But users shouldn't have to become experts on which preferences to
modify in order to get the best experience on the Web.  We should
provide the best experience to new users as much as to experienced
ones; this helps keep the Web usable to the masses rather than just
experts.

(I have mixed feelings about the original issue, but I disagree with
your suggested alternative.)
