I agree. Often we do not know exactly what suffering is or the various ways in can arise.

Which is why it makes sense to guide people in such a way so that they realize what suffering is. Often, when you are taught something repeatedly you tend to believe it is true and start practicing in that way (eg: doing good in order to be born in a better place or thinking you cannot get enlightened in this life so it is required to gather up more good kamma to be enlightened in a future life etc). Once in that delusion, it is hard to wake up from that and start searching because you believe it is true.
