Limiting my options is a good reason for becoming more experienced. The more of my options I limit, and the faster I limit them, the faster I can make things, as opposed to exploring options. It's why beginners' guides are opinionated: The beginner has no opinions of their own, so they must be given the opinions of someone who has them so they can make progress instead of being overwhelmed by choice. Making progress involves replacing your teachers' opinions with your own, so you can limit your options to a manageable set instead of them being limited for you, but at no point are you truly open to looking at every single thing equally. It would take too much time for very little reward.
