For most of us, we've only had to learn by trying it and failing a lot of the time, and we've found that SMT is hard. If nothing else, the small component sizes are more difficult to work with, and the cramped conditions on the PCB require attention to detail and diligence above what the average through-hole kit typically demands. There exists down the electronics kits aisle of Fry's Electronics all manner of doodads designed to make SMT skills easier to uptake and use. If it was so easy, there'd be no need for such products. It's great you found it easy, and have the skills to teach others. Don't call "bullshit" just because you've found it isn't hard. Others have found it hard, and you can't discount their experiences. You can, however, figure out how to market the fact you've found it easy, and I'd bet the electronics hobbyists and amateur radio operators of the world would thank you financially for your help.
