I understand your points, and they are possibly a good idea.
This may sound a bit rejecting ( which it is ) but I seriously don't see it being turned into a video tutorial. As the idea of video tutorials is to aid people with visual appearance aside the boring script text. For showing the results, it might work in a motivating or clearing way.
Pathing is just following the rules of your own mind. Visually aiding it is useless and just because newbies will watch it, looks like a cheap way to get away with it. In my opinion people ( newbies , intermediates or experts ) should simply seek beyond the videos and broaden their knowledge. We have an excellent tutorial FAQ and listing which has been contributed by various scripters. It is a shame people only follow the videos because the text tutorials add the missing information often which is perhaps not shown in the videos.
Feel free to discuss / debate if you think I am wrong.
