This experience is called learning. Learning by doing, making mistakes, and improving is a good way to develop skill. If a person keeps making the same bad calls over and over, then the process isn't working. Some people who DM cannot admit that they make mistakes and thus are unable to learn from them. If a paint by numbers set is required to keep the DM from being a dork then the game only has so much potential anyway.
