Because the komi helps them or b/c the stronger player usually plays white?

Re: Is Komi standard play?

Between newer players, i.e. players who don't really understand what they are doing yet, komi seems quite large and appears to give the advantage to white. It would seem to me that only between skilled players would moving first give that big of an advantage.
