If Miller suggest staying around to gain expeirence, then i can see the benifit for a very new player.
Otherwise the only lesson i can see being learned by SSS is preflop selection. If you can even call it a "lesson". One can commit beginner preflop selections to memory in 1 or 2 sessions.
After that, the player is left in the dark. With no Post-flop skills, they are going to get destroyed.

Hyp, you've reached the essence of the SSS. Beginners don't have post-flop skills. That's why removing that aspect from the game helps them. And while they're sitting at the table folding their trash (and speculative hands that you might want to play) they get to see the rest of you play post-flop...and maybe begin the learning process. So why don't you let novices play in a way that saves some bankroll so that they don't learn to despise the game?

Short stackers aren't the players who should steam you. Rat-holers are. Nobody likes them.
