It does seem to be aimed at beginners of one stripe or another. And the "write dreck and rewrite" method does work for some people.
"Write decent and rewrite" works much better for me.
However, having people to write wit and cheer me on also works for me. I'm VERY aware that the 50,000 word deadline is artificial, and doesn't match any market I'm writing for, but hey, if it helps me move forward, I'll use it.
Basically, I'm using it as my tool, to further my goals, and as such, I pick and choose how much of the "party line" to follow.
