It is certainly not a "mudiyor kalivi". If teacher asks the student, what is 2+2, does it means that the teacher doesn't know the answer. Am like the student. I know everyone in this forum are such a knowledgable persons. Anyhow, I will share whatever I know in this regard.
Pradeepa jvalapir divasakara neerajana vidhi:
sudhasudhes chandro pala jalala vairargya rasana
swageeyair ambobir salila nidhi souhitya karanam
thvatheeyabis vakbis thava janani vaacham sthuthiriyum
I purposefully mention this soundarya lahari last sloka. Because, before starting something as a response to your post, I wish to say my position. I request all the forum members to check my posts and if there is a bit of deviation from the sastras and other things, just post that also. Iam here to share only. A learner can never teach.

Vinayagar (or ganesha) is the god, who is considered to be the god for solving all the problems (Vignams). Hence, the name Vigneswara. For performing a good deed, there will be lot of disturbances. To avoid them, vigneswara is worshipped initially. I ish to explain this in other way round. While performing a good thing towards eternal (Say "a archana"), the good part of our mind induces us to do as early as possible. At the same time, the worst part of our mind dictates us, "Ok, let us sleep now. will do pooja at evening, at evening it says, the program in TV is nice, will do the pooja tomorrow. Like this we will be having hell a lot of deviations. Once started, all these deviations get diminished and for that, vinayagar is worshipped initially. Also, vinayagr is the first biotechnological god. (he is the combo of deva+demon+human+animal forms). The idol of vinayga teaches us many many things. For example, his ears teach us that we should wide open our ears to hear and should not talk too much. instead hear many a lot of good things.
For each and every god, you need some form to worship. Either an idol or a picture, or photo (some form is required). But, as you all know there is no need of a form for vinayagar. You can make him with turmeric, sandal, sand, or even cowdung. He can be easily seen by us in any forms.
His moolamanthra is "gam". it is very similar to english "come" asking him to come here.
Also, the power of vinayagar cannot be comparable with anyother gods. It is very natural too. When, a powerful father and powerful mother unites what will be the net result???. So the amazing powers of this lord cannot be explained thro simple words.
The shape of vinayaga is similar to the "Ohm", which is the starting of vedas. There are many many reasons like this to say the dignity of vinayaga.
The major cause to worship him before starting anything, is to remove obstacles in that work. Doing archana is also a work, which is very important step in saguna upasana (idol worship), so to avoid any sorts of obstacle, vinayaga should be worshipped first.
Iam waiting till tomorrow to get anyother views regarding vinayagar pooja.
