Poor dumb buggers like me (and other newbies to the game) don't know that. Instead, we are told that a Barlow will double our eye piece collection.
It may not be outright bad advice, but it's certainly misleading and as such, it shouldn't be given.
Fair point?

Fair point Phil, maybe a little bit more information should be imparted when advising people what eyepeices they should get.
In fact I had a person up here just last weekend asking me about eyepeices and told him the value of barlows and their uses

Like all eyepeices barlows have their uses but they are not really in place of another eyepeice, but can be a useful tool in your eyepeice box.
