Fair enough, but would you, if you were an engineer want to listen to
ideas for a car from a designer who didn't know how to drive?

Because people have found it necessary to educate you first instead.
Ditto. No one said you were stupid, ignorant and ill-considered
perhaps, but those are things which can be fixed by a little research
on your part, and some forethought.

Have you even read Michael Doob's _A Gentle Introduction to TeX_?

Until you understand the intricacies mandated by intermixing text as
commands w/ text as text there's simply not enough common ground for
a meaningful discussion.

I'm also curious as to why your idea for a syntax is superiour for
beginners than their merely using something like LyX, <www.lyx.org>.
