I just think that any hardship a character faces should have some degree of predictability for a first time player.

I can't objectively prove that a trial-and-error approach is inherently inferior, but I just think it's a cheap way to implement difficulty. It's like the difficulty equivalent of a jump scare.

Pic related is a great example of difficulty done right. Challenging, yet fair, and extremely rewarding once mastered.
