But the wizard already tries to talk to you at the "eater-of-cupcakes" level Booth - the problem is that it sometimes does so in Swahili!

I like this discussion. So where does one make the dividing line? Lets swap the story a bit. That clock thing is too cliche even for me.

I find it completely acceptable that I can use an Apache server without understanding how it's made, what all the options are, or even how to set it up. I believe I should be able to walk into the bakery and ask for a dozen cupcakes and have the person there interview me for the needed information, and then give me a box with my cupcakes, made the way I asked they be made. That's all I am asking. A Wizard interview that asks the questions at my eater-of-cupcakes level of understanding; not at the level of the baker-of-cupcakes. Plus ask all the questions that are likely to be needed. ( CORS would be my example for that.)

No.

Because you're looking to build clocks, not tell time. So you better know
how gears, springs, quarts, batteries, etc work. Depending on what type of
clock you want.

The consumer tells time using your clock.
