What designers at Quora (& web designers in general) should know; MOST "normal" or "novice" users are often afraid of "breaking something".
I've seen it in everyone from my Uncles, to my girlfriend to my grandfather.
If there are no guides, or instructions; then users will be afraid they will accidentally click into a irreparable state.
