Except when learning to drive, you do read quite a bit on it, and maybe watch a few videos and see other people doing it all prior to doing it yourself, the same applies here. I can't tell you the amount reading a guide, and then watching a video has helped me understand a fight whereas I'd have no clue what to do. Experience helped my perfect my play, but without the prior knowledge it would have taken me significantly longer to learn fights. To say it's much more effective is utter crap, they both play a huge role in learning a fight. If someone isn't going to a watch a video before joining my group (if the content is over a few days at all and the content is actually difficult), they're not joining my group at all.
