Valid point about projecting my own feelings.

I was more trying to make a point that if you're writing a guide or tutorial, actually start from the beginning.

I understand it can be frustrating, but keep in mind your beginning is different from other people's beginnings. It's similar to the problem of telling the story of an historical event. Where do you start? To analyze the root cause of e.g WW1, you'd end up going back to the beginning of recorded history.

Part of learning to learn is learning to keep going through things even when you don't fully understand.
