I think I disagree with postflop decisions being more important than preflop. You could force the best player in the world to fold 40% preflop and I'm pretty sure they'd lose against people with at least half a brain. Approximately correct preflop play will save you a lot of hassle and make finding players worse than you a lot easier.

IMO most players have a pretty good idea of what to do preflop. I know there are the droolers out there and the guys that have no backbone but over all its after the flop that poor play really shows itself. I think the flop is the best played street in HUL(I actually considered starting a poll about this point at one time). This is a pre bf opinion.
The 40% fold ratio is not a bad game for a beginning player to use. After getting comfortable with that range and gaining some experience then the beginner can expand his range to the edge of his comfort zone and playing style. Cant argue with table selection. Probably more important than anything. Throw in there that if you run into someone who is good you have to get away from that table. This is easier said than done.
It really bothers me that some players have to be told what cards to play. Are there actually players that dont know the difference between A/K and 7/2? This reminds me of those signs posted in the breakrooms of offices I used to visit to get people to wash the dishes they used. "YOUR MOTHER DOES NOT WORK HERE".
