> Tools shouldn't be designed specifically to PRECLUDE beginners I'm reminded of a lesser-known talk[1] by Dan Geer, in which he discusses cybersecurity maturing into its own field - its own science - using T. S. Kuhn's definition[2] as a rough guideline. One of the criteria used to recognize the transition into a specialized field was the use of jargon. Maturity as a stand-along field has happened when it becomes necessary to invent new jargon that is - by definition - inaccessible to outsiders. To be clear, I completely agree that tools shouldn't preclude beginners whenever possible, but I suspect that my not be possible as everything becomes more specialized.
