While I understand what you're trying to say; Software updater isn't available pre-install. The context of the quoted post seems to be based on the pre-install experience of choosing which version to install without previous knowledge of Ubuntu's versioning system.

It should be noted that while the website typically steers you towards LTS; that's only if you find your own way there and aren't linked to a specific image by someone else. I think it's entirely understandable why some people might get confused.

NinjaEdit: Also of note is people brand new to linux probably won't know anything about Ubuntu being based on Debian or what that even means, so the idea of Stable, Testing, Unstable is a wildly new idea to them.
