The development of a scenario where the clueless can become tuned in would 
be a good possibility for a a group of newbies.  I agree with both of you.  
It IS hard to clue new players in AND doing it through the judicious use of 
information (or experience gleaned from NPC's in the know) is a great way to 
do it.  I love street level campaigns and a typical mystery with just the 
right amount of wierdness can go a long way.  The film "Run Lola Run" is 
agreat excample of this (or as I like to call it Lola in Three Persons).
