- a written specific use case showcases multiple things; a step-by-step tutorial mostly follow one with a fixed path; this enables the audience to do some interleaving as Switching between different topics makes new perspective
- usually because it Show the result at the front; similar reasons as to why Examples and stories are more memorable than explanations
-
