>Why is it they can follow a recipe to kind of make a mint birthday cake but they can't point at a picture of a cake on a picture menu and say "that one!"

They point at the picture of the birthday cake, and they receive an apple pie and cannot figure out why. You have to read the documentation to understand that standing on one foot while pointing makes a difference.

Declarative tools are easier when you understand the domain. Otherwise, problems arise because small changes in the requirements can result in huge changes in the outcome.
