The two examples at the beginning are completely separate examples, not rewrites of each other. The comparison is in the readability for beginners, not the content.
I prefer my tutorials without reading someone’s life story at the beginning. The intro contains so little info compared to the number of words being used. This reminds me of looking up a recipe and having to scroll past an essay on the history of someone’s grandmother. I like it when documentation is as dense as possible, and ideally formatted in a logical way so it’s easy to skim. Big paragraphs of English do not achieve this.
