It's called protecting your inexperienced partner.
As I alluded to earlier, you start someone slowly and ease them into it. If you want someone to face the full-blown thing right from the get go, why not start them with the NCAA Championship game instead of a MS or HS freshman game? It doesn't make sense to hit them with everything at once.
To do that is to set someone up to fail. You want these people to have success, so that they will stick around and become a productive official down the road.
Nothing is worse than having a terrible experience when you first start something. It makes you want to quit that activity.
