I only put the --expert flag because I wanted to take advantage of having a main key that can only sign and certify, and which I can then store offline. I know it's perhaps easier for a beginner to start out with a single key for everything, but since I think I understood the reason one should have several subkeys, I thought it would be best to start out as such and (hopefully) not have to revoke the main key because of any stupid mistakes…
