Starting with the Newbie badge gives extra points

I understand how people who are new start automatically start with the "Newbie" badge and that's how they also start with 30 points.

However, in my opinion, it's kinda strange how they start with 30 points and not 0.

If you take out a calculator and add up all your points, it will be 30 less then the points Treehouse displays.

I just have the feeling that it might confuse some people.
