I might be guilty of the first, but I won't apologize. :-)

Newbies often have enormous preambles in their documents which have
been copied over generations of LaTeX users without anybody really
understanding the preambles (or LaTeX). So it makes sense to first cut
down the document to the absolute minimum and try to understand what
all the packages do.
