I would assume the analogy is the Microsoft is computing dumbed down and
crippled so that _anyone_ can use it _WITHOUT_THINKING_.

Some think Ubuntu has the same goal:  _anyone_ can use it _WITHOUT_THINKING_

Others think Ubuntu's goal is only: _anyone_ can use it

Since most of _anyone_ refuse to think, it's hard to see how to
accomplish the second goal without accidentally accomplising the first
goal.

Someone should make a linux distro who's goal is:

 _anyone_ can use it, and it encourages _thinking_

A very, very, tough goal
