People who say "I can't be bothered to correct this" while posting a wise a$$ 
correction are just trolling, probably not funny in real life either. I think 
if you're going to wise off than be witty about it, otherwise just a terse 
reference to a link.

At any rate, my original point stands. You're not teaching on planet Vulcan. 
Better to teach things in an odd order if that helps motivates your students. 
It's not like people in real life carefully examine all available documentation 
before learning some piece of tech. Usually they shrug and say "what's the 
worst that could happen", dive in, and roll with the consequences.
