It’s a neat diagram, but I’m unsure what they mean by “ignore it.” This is exactly how good recipes have been designed for many many decades, minus the nifty visual cheat sheet and with better instructions. [i.e. Do you beat the eggs? How thoroughly? How do you know when it’s done baking?]
I absolutely get that this might help those who are more visually based learners, but the structure of recipes already follows this pattern. This turns the written instructions into a simplified chart, and I hope more thorough written instructions are simply being elided here.
I do like it though. It would certainly make a nice visual shorthand to glance over at during prep.

I think the diagram is especially useful for those who have done a recipe numerous times.
This seems like a great visual summary and useful for those who can refer to it and use experience to fill in the details.
Nothing substitutes a raw cooking instruction in plain language.
