Does everyone need to be a scholar of the Quran?

Salaam all
Brother Joseph has beautiful and concisely highlighted salah here http://quransmessage.com/articles/prayer%20without%20hadith%20FM3.htm

Since we can agree that brother Joseph is blessed with the cerebral capacities and academic juice that most average folk are not, as are many other forum members, how do all of a few 100 million stumble across his site (there might be others) or otherwise decide to analyse the Quran as brother Joseph has beautifully and precisely done (which let's be honest won't happen) so my point being,  is everyone required to thoroughly analyse the Quran to understand how to pray, when to pray, pray is allowed whilst travelling/walking, times of prayer etc and many many other commands of Allah the Almighty that to be honest could be seen as pretty basic and fundamental guidance taken for granted by us. 
How are average poor Muslims without computers to understand that all five prayers are in the Quran without being told it?
Are people selected by Allah the Almighty to be guided?
Does every average person have a fair shot at this kind of information? I believe I was guided here through some effort and mainly because It was "Allah Alone" that I praised and had the the Quran at the helm of all my answered questions.
I was always averse to tradition, again putting God Almighty before tradition. Clearly if I had never found this or another Quran centric source I would have been doomed to be engulfed by tradition or maybe not, but I certainly wouldn't have analysed the Quran with the academic rigour that brother Joseph and others have and I am sure that majority Muslims are in the same boat as me, obviously pre Quran centricity.
Would love to hear your thoughts everyone.

Peace and Jzk
