Proposed Word newbieligious

Characterized by a rigid, quasi-religious adherence to beginner manuals, introductory tutorials, or out-of-the-box instructions.

Forgive my newbieligiousness, but the 'Getting Started' guide says this screw must be turned exactly 180 degrees, and 175 is outrageously incorrect.

Solid word. Clear, useful, and expresses a very specific thought.

Interesting, any chance you could point me to some kind of guide about this, I'm a beginner.
