The book has to start somehow. Would it be better if it featured cartoon foxes? Chunky bacon?

Much better! I miss _why.
You have a point. But I think as a layman I would have appreciated a little more about what kind of reader the book is appropriate for. And possibly have that appear within the first three paragraphs of the intro. I like how this book does give you an idea of how you should expect to work through the examples though.
the point is that it should start without pointing out obvious banalities.
A thousand times yes!
