Explain how I broke both front shoulders at 255yds on a bull elk with the same load in a 25'06
Perhaps the choice of bullets plays a very large part in providing penetration, on poor angle shots.
Perhaps taking low percentage shots for a neophyte is not a thing to advocate.
Perhaps allowing a neophyte shooter to become proficent enough of a shot without worrying about excessive recoil is a more prudent course of action to take.

No need to explain - they work. I could also give you just as many examples where standard cartridges failed and magnums got the job done, but I digress. I only intended to provide a real world scenario where a mag was more practical and appropriate than "hype", as you put it.
As far as "taking a low percentage shot.." I suppose that really depends on what your shooting
And like I said, a mag is probably not the right choice for a beginner.
