I sort of agree. The only snag is that you present gaining a lot of experience before tackling that task as opposed to start building up your own stuff. They are not exclusive by any means. Rather than encouraging a novice to climb Mount Everest directly by either North or South Ridge, have him start building his own low-steep slope path surrounding the mountain, with some books about mountaineering and maybe some friends that created their own roads a while ago. Maybe, in 15 years, he will reach the tip.
