I think the point is, that any odd idiot trying to do something, is better than someone who knows a ton about the topic but has never gotten his hands dirty with actual work.
The example of the guy with the perfect, undamaged running shoes is very fitting, and can be seen in real-life if you go to the gym. The guys (and gals) with the muscles are training; the chubby people are talking about 'workout techniques' and 'diet tips'.

What tip would be useful before you started using Photoshop?
Tips or resources that might inspire me to use it. I know there have been some impressive tutorials that have encouraged people to get more into using Photoshop by their effect. I enjoyed a lot of them myself in the late 90s.
A copy that costs under 50USD. Even one with somewhat limited functionality would be great.
That hits close to home, I'm afraid.
I never "metatip" I didn't like.
Though just because they're reasonably easy to produce and provide little insight doesn't eliminate their value. Tips and resource posts can act like a "swipe file" of ideas, providing inspiration and provoking different ways of thinking about things.
I might be a complete Photoshop pro, but if I see some tips that do things in a slightly different way, those tips could inspire me to come up with new techniques of my own. That's why all those "design gallery" sites exist.. not so people copy / steal designs, but so creative people can be inspired.
So, sure, real advice requires real insight, but there's still serious value in all the tiny bits and pieces that get our minds thinking.
