Tutorials are specifically "learn to get something done, RIGHT NOW, working on the shoulders of giants".

Education from first principles is common in computer science, but tutorials aren't the place.

Analogous in physics would be, "I need to figure out exactly how much force is going to be applied through this climbing harness and pulley system lest I fall and die", and learning how to plug your variables into a standard set of equations without understanding anything but basic calculator operation.
