Worst mistake in tutorials?

[inuyasharp]

What do you think is the worst mistake you can make in a tutorials? I think not saying what to make the height and width

[sfkobpospo]

i think typos are worse, like 'shut' or 'shot'

Other than that, i think mixing up the steps would be a major cock up

I think maybe too much text, people usually read tutorials for pictures, not text. People are usually a visually type of learner.

I think bad instructions..... You can't just say, radial blur 50, render this out, etc..........

Unless the tutorial is for people familiar with Photoshop. >>

I think too much text too. If there are no pictures its really hard to judge what you are doing

Yea I hate tutorials that are pure text because it's often very hard to tell what they mean - one image for each step is normally enough. It's also nice if the tutorial itself looks pretty cool and it isn't too long.
