Good call, the GM is kind of a coach in some ways (among the plethora of
other responsibilities) even to experienced players, he may need to set the
tone for his games.

That is part of the reason I don't allow anyone to start with numbers or
priorities until they've gone through 20 questions and I feel we've resolved
any weak links.
