JavaScript object creation: Learning to live without "new" (adobe.com)

I don't understand why this is considered superior to using `new`. I guess it's supposed to be less confusing to those who try to use JavaScript without understanding it (and hey, we've all been there), but I don't see how it really helps. It doesn't magically make the newcomer understand prototypal inheritance.
