While it is an improvement, it’s aimed at people that already knows the commands.
For example:
Extract a (compressed) archive file into the current directory verbosely: tar xvf path/to/source.tar[.gz|.bz2|.xz]
What is that [.gz|.bz2|.xz] at the end? to someone that knows the tool it’s too obvious to even think about, to anyone else, it’s just there to mess with you because there’s zero reference to it and some examples include it and others don’t.
