As I said in the comment above, I do enjoy it as well, what I am pushing back is calling it pedagogical approach or teaching.

If you taught, you know that you and your mind don’t matter much in the process of teaching, your student’s mind is in the center.

Talking about something based on your own experience into an abstract void and hoping that some lurker’s mental model matches yours is not a rigorous pedagogical approach.

Ordering topics by strict topological sorting with no cyclical dependencies, ensuring that there's a consistent picture built with each step, and that this picture monotonically converges towards the correct model as you move towards the end of the article is a rigorous pedagogical approach.
