Um, shared_buffers is one of the most important initial parameters to set and it most certainly cannot be set after startup.
So, WHY at all should those parameters be guessed at the installation of the database?
Because a lot of good assumptions can be made on the initial install. Likewise, some of the most important parameters cannot be tuned after startup.
