I think Bungie dropped the ball... (Destiny)

Personally, with my time constraints, I knew I wouldn't have time to "enjoy" the process of solving the raids' puzzles. I chose to wait a week until players knew what they were supposed to do. For me, the challenge of executing was enough for me to get started. From there, it's the iteration of doing better each time, learning new techniques and new "plays" for each section... that's the stuff that keeps me coming back week after week.

So I would recommend skipping the first 4 weeks then :)

We'll see... if players are doing anything substantially different with these PoE waves 4 weeks from now, I might have to eat a sock ;)

My bet is we'll mostly see the exact same strategies we're seeing right now (select PoE ninjas notwithstanding).

Also, it's worth mentioning that many Destiny players who did choose to go into the raids blind on day 1 still think of those runs as their favorite moments with Destiny, even all these months later. Purely anecdotal, but I haven't heard anyone say that about level 34 or 35 Prison of Elders :-/

This is true, but that is because of the nature of the game types. Raids are more puzzle oriented. PoE is more survival oriented. Yes, they mix on both regards, but they are what they are.
