There you go. Basically none of the questions I threw out can be simply answered.

Most newbies can't afford a new mirrorless camera. Many can't afford a DSLR, either. I don't think it is our place to tell them what to buy. Just suggest they do the research for their needs and budget.
Give that person a lollipop!
It's not our place to tell them what to buy. But we can attempt to explain what they don't know, which is everything, guide them to information, and maybe give them a chance to handle some vintage or even new equipment.

People asking me to recommend a camera from time to time but I never have the answer because I never asked anyone which camera should I buy. I may ask, what this feature for. What does it mean by the camera having this? but I never asked which should I buy. Some of the camera I bought and I liked a lot most people thought it was a stupid choice.

As said by ImTrying --
Teach them the basics. Let them get the feel of something in their hands. Maybe a couple of somethings.
If only the neighbours daughter had used different words when telling my wife what I suggested!!!!!!

Who's Paul ? I was commenting on spelling and using a word incorrectly (although possibly spelt right).

Why not new?
I doubt that they will want to buy old equipment.
First things first is ask what their budget is.
Good for cameras, cars or houses.
