So, then...how many beginners are going to know these things? Not many.
So why not take your experience and help those who want to start a nano tank. Spread the word of what they can and can not have in the nano tank. Show them what corals need to be seperate from others. Tell them what fish are appropiate for a nano tank. If they come looking for awnsers they are showing that they want to know these things so they can be successfull. And as you stated above, if the begginer knows what species, specific needs, and takes the time to place the coral they "can succeed with a nano tank nearly effortlessly." And this of course is my belief. Never thought I would hear you say that.
