Pre Tutorial Conceptions

When people are first introduced to Patterns in a more formal manner (such as a tutorial or lecture), I wonder what preconceptions they arrive with and whether Patterns turn out to be much different than what they expected.

When I have asked some PatternNovices? what they think about Patterns, I get answers like these:

Are these people victims of (misleading) PatternHype ? When will the inevitable PatternBacklash (and I don't mean PatternSkepticism) begin?
