I do like to have an adventure that shows me how basic beats of the game are supposed to sync up and how its suppsoed to be balanced, instead of having to guess based on the theory. Do you also look down on people who say your kid's first bike should have training wheels?
No. But I would look down on people that say that any bike that doesn't have training wheels is unrideable.
If we're specifically talking about kid's first bike, which the starter set or quickstart is an equivalent to, then looking down to people who want training wheels sounds like an asshole move.
Paizo ain't wizards, they give you lots of information about how to run a game, even down to the general amount of money they should have or the amount of events they should fight in a day.
The experience can be useful for a type of campaign you haven't run before i suppose, I'm doing sevenfold conspiracy and it has lots advice on running an investigatory whodunit. Although i wouldn't look to the paths for hard balancing advice, the wrath game I'm in is exceptionally easy (until it suddenly isn't) and the game I'm running is pretty easy too (but it's not based around combat).
