What is the exact objective of:

"Please read the Learning Manual before complaining about bugs! New users occasionally believe that LilyPond is not working correctly, when in fact it is working precisely as designed."

I find this slightly off-putting because it tells the reader: "If it doesn't seem to work you're probably too dumb".

Is this targeted at the people who wonder why double-clicking on the desktop shortcut won't open a program?

Or is this more the advice "well, we know it's complicated to start with, but please bear with us and read the LM"?

I suggest getting rid of the "complaining about bugs" phrase. We want to be friendly and welcoming, aren't we?
