I think you are making my point. Yes, the very basic math relating to odds is the same in both. And yes, NLHE adds implied odds, etc. 
 
But trust me, that basic part is NOT automatic to many, many beginners until they practice applying those basics to their game. I know of a few current and past CCer's who still ignore pot odds/B.E. odds and just go with "their gut" because they never took the time to drill basic odds into their heads. 
 
Sure, if someone has the basics down pat and wants to become a NLHE player, by all means, they should start playing NLHE and get in the groove.
 
But my point is that a beginner can use Limit Hold'em as a less-risky training ground until the basic stuff becomes automatic. THEN switch to NLHE and tackle implied odds, etc. For quite a few folks, taking it all in at once is just too much to learn properly IMO.
 
Anyone who says that there are not enough similarities between LHE and NLHE clearly hasn't spent much time playing Limit. Learn Limit and you are halfway to learning No-Limit. For every hand of NLHE I play today, I still use a little something I learned from starting at LHE.
