This is obviously how plebs would think, probably because they are not yet familiar with the system and because you and your friends are scared that you might lose your coin if you send it to a new address that has not yet been used.
You can't really blame most newbies for this stereotyped mindset, I think that it's a healthy fear, because you don't want to lose your coins over what you're not very sure of. Infact some newbies will first receive crypto coins into a new wallet and then send it out, just to make sure that it works before endorsing it to hold their coins, especially when the money involved is much. The charade is not necessary but if it'll make a newbie without accurate knowledge to feel safer, then it's no harm to perform a trial test. Let him just keep the seed phrase in a secured location and never share the information with any of his friends.
When in doubt it is preferable that newbies are more cautious than usual than the other way around, this way they can at least convince themselves that what they are doing is right and do not worry about those coins they are holding for the long term, as we have seen many horror stories of people that did not verify their download, sent their coins to that wallet and only realized their coins have been stolen months after the fact, and in some cases they kept losing money as they kept sending money to the compromised wallet before they realized what happened.
