No, that's not the case at all.  He's always used Konqueror.   How could 
he imagine konqueror can't browse a filesystem?  He doesn't have to know 
that it does that through a dolphin kpart, or even understand the
concept, but he can't (validly) complain about Konqueror being crippled  
without having actually _tried_ konqueror.  If he was new to KDE and 
found he didn't like Dolphin, then it might be understandable, but he's 
complaining about what he's _lost_ in konqueror - and this is something 
he hasn't lost.
