I must disagree with both of these points.
I've seen 10 year deep "vets" not know how to point out common objects on too many occasions. In fact i recommend the opposite to people starting out, nothing teaches you the sky like a push too scope. I do use a goto scope as well as a dob so it's not like I'm a dob snob either.
