There are so many topics/articles that a newbie can read and you have already mention some of it. So, as the thread title said what topics/threads newbie should read?. Obviously you have read the ones that you mention so, the other threads that newbies should read depends on what you are into. E.g, you are into mining so the thread you should mostly read is mining topic. Just focus on the things that you want to learn or interested.
Yes you are not wrong but not all topics are easy to understand in the first place and it may lead them to confusion. Some newbies are maybe fast learners like after seeing a thread they would know the "hang" of it. Some could be still processing or can't relate in a specific topic. That's why reading the starting or the supporting concepts is essential.
