The problem is if you have a garage full of power tools and know how to use them that it's unreasonable to let your 6 year old build a birdhouse with them unsupervised.

I'm looking into ASP.NET MVC for a project and if you walk through the "hello world" tutorials with that package they are 10 pages long and filled with lots of magic. As a developer, I understand the significance of that magic and it's long term purpose. But it's probably far from the best tool for the job if your project is simple.

The flaw here is perhaps the assumption that the best tool for the job is the same for everyone and the same for every task.
