Personally I don't think that music_4321 meant to be patronising or condescending to youngsters. In all fairness his general advice is quite valid, younger people are more likely to be less experienced with the various gears being talked about. We've lived a shorter period of time so chances are we haven't played the (aural) field as much.
I think there is certainly a danger of less experienced members being more susceptible to the various hyperbole/effusive praise thrown around any new and highly regarded piece of gear. Chances are if you haven't bought some of the lower end/mid range stuff you'll not be aware of the degree to which performance increments compared to the extra doll you fork over.
Not wishing to put words in his mouth, but I think the point music_4321 is trying to make is that the 'hype' that can be left on more impressionable 'newbies' can lead to people thinking they must jump straight to the best. Whilst they have every right to do what they want with their money, the process of buying upwards would allow them to make a more informed decision of what gains to expect when they decide to really spill the wallet.
anyway - just my 2 cents
