I don't disagree with the psychology, though it would seem
to me that learning such issues as case statements early on
will not only advance a novice, but make their code more
readable as they progress from novice to a more advanced
level.  In fact the satisfaction of writing something that
is elegant (which if/then/else is barely) is guaranteed to
be fruitful and rewarding.
