Good question -- write a letter to the editor at 3D World magazine, and perhaps they'll deign to condescend and provide you with an answer.

Well, to be fair it was just one columnist, who is known for his sarcastic and biting humor and where everyone is fair game for criticism. 3D World in general is not (openly) condescending to its hobbiest readers. As has been said, there are tutorials and content offered for daz/poser/bryce users.
