If you are offended by helping new players learn content in a duty finder, I would recommend you avoid it in the future and stick to making pre-made or simply leave the group.
I guess you kind of cherry picked some of what I said. As I actually said :

I don't care if I see the 100 Soldiery bonus when starting a duty, I trust a new player who knows the fight as much as most "experienced" players.

However, if the DF is there for learning purposes, how can new players be expected to clear content? If a new player is unable to find a group, which they obviously are since they use the DF, how can they clear the likes of T5, only an example, in the DF if it is for learning players only? A player who has learned the first and second, maybe even third, phases may continually end up getting players learning the first phase. See what's happening here? A player who is there to learn is preventing another player from learning.

Teaching people or learning is all well and good but teaching people who don't even make a small look ahead, gets difficult considering the time restraint and the other players in the duty. It's not all about the new player. Unfortunately, majority rules, and the people learning tend to be of the few.

The reason you don't see learning parties often in the PF, although I do still see them, is because they aren't willing to find people. So, instead, stick 7 other random players with the task via the DF to teach them.

If you are new to a fight and get away without having looked at it, fair play to you. I won't condemn anyone. I would just rather, that when I enter the DF, that people put in that bit of effort so should I try and teach them, it makes it easier for me. So when I name a mechanic, they aren't confused. I will assist people who put in that effort, but not people who don't.
