The point of this is some indication that if we don't explicitly care about the newbies then it will in fact be damaging to the project. Please read the thread.
I agree with this postulate (and I hope that most here either already knew or felt this to be true), but your interpretation that increasing process is hostile to newbies is a different assertion than the initial point.
There are lots of things which are more likely to bite newbies than process stuff which most of them never have to see or interact with, in my opinion.
