Why does a new Elisp learner prefer to use
an unreleased pretest version of Emacs?

Seems like asking for additional trouble,
with not so much ability to tell whether
something is a new-feature bug or part of
what Emacs has long done (tried and true,
tested and well-used).

Like learning to drive in a test version
of a new car.  Maybe exciting, but maybe
not so great for learning what's what -
can't tell what's intended from what just
happens to be part of a not-fully-baked
current implementation.

Why not learn Emacs using the latest
release, Emacs 28.2?
