What you wrote is, IMO, quite helpful (and interesting).  Thx.

[You might consider a fun "humanities" project of
working on (yet another) Emacs tour/tutorial/video.
Sounds like you'd have something to offer in this

coming up with something new to critiquing/improving
something that already exists.]
