I suggest to make a difference between a tutorial for self study (that 
is at a beginner's level) and a "tutorial" that is a kind of reminder 
before taking an exam (for the expert with a lot of practice).

To be fair I have to say that even after years of practice, I still 
haven't touched *all* the options (not to talk about the long-options) 
of all the commands and config files - well nearly all -, and I 
personally find it helpful to prepare myself for an exam with some kind 
of "tutorial" that gives a brief description of all the stuff I must 
keep in mind.

Just that. I share Your opinions.
