It only made sence because the average "joe" probably doesn't own a soldering iron or owns one but has only used it a hand full of times connecting speakers and simple stuff such as that. I wouldn't have a problem but not many folks teach electronic courses and fix TV/VCR/Strero's in their spare time so I have many hours behind a soldering Iron.
