I view this as all well and good - When it's only killing the person in question who wishes to experience the content blind.

When the event in question causes the party to wipe, then we have a different situation in play. Now it is the actions/desires of 1 person directly preventing/blocking 7 other people from progressing because they want to "learn every mechanic" blind.

There's a delicate balancing act at play behind 1 person's desire to do content blind and their fellow party members desire to complete the content. And when weighed in the balance, simply put 7 > 1. It feels to me that if this is your ultimate desire, the better solution is to put together a group of 7 accomodating friends/relations from your FC or even in party finder and form up with the express, written desire for no one to help anyone with mechanics, rather than getting irate at people who enter the encounter using the duty finder with the expectation they will complete the content in a reasonable period of time. I personally won't queue for things when I can't absorb a wipe or two, but expecting me to absorb 5-6 wipes for your own personal edification is a bit much.
