I would go as far as to say anyone buying a 20D and not knowing enough
to pick a lenses doesn't need to be buying one but rather needs to be
learning more about the basics of photography.

John, you have to remember that people with lots of money to spend will buy
high end and then expect to learn from there on. Why would someone with
lots of cash restrict themselves to a lousy camera just because they haven't
learned enough about photography to buy a high end camera? If they never
master it, then so be it. They either set it aside or give it to someone.
A lot of people in this newsgroup are in fact those kind of people. And
then there are people in this newsgroup who wish they had the money to buy
high end and learn as they go along.
