I agree that absolute novices unfamiliar with OSM are not what we might call "an ideal candidate," for BC2020i but it certainly has been and can be done. That said, "coming with Java preloaded" is a certain kind of "trigger warning" that "you have to be this tall to ride the ride." That's sort of a crude way to put it, yes.
"Discovering OSM first on one's own" (iD, teeth cutting, tech chops, confidence in basic mapping, community, tenets and what it's about, standing tall, standing taller...) is fantastic. Come with Java installed, we have tools here and Elmer can walk you through it. For many, that's cool, awesome, fun and helpful, all at the same time! 60 per minute per building = 1 building per second. Congratulations to the communities of Canada and OSM: that's a cool measurement, right there. Is your average high school student up to this? Some are, some are less so. That's how it is. Spare mice, huh, perfect! QA at the beginning, middle and end, yeah. Banging on a certain large number of cylinders, check. Bulls-eye? Hey, closer and closer!
