There's a difference: in this case it's not about omitting fancy tricks you don't need to know until you become an expert; it's about omitting ill-considered features that should never have existed to begin with (or, at best, features that made sense at some point in the past but don't anymore) and that nobody should ever use again no matter how expert they get.
