This tutorial was easy to follow until it got to

"2. It is possible to run async operation without await."

Up to that point, it appeared to be geared towards beginners, but then it abruptly goes into what the author acknowledges is a special case when I am still trying to get my head around await and async. As a beginner, I would like to understand common and typical uses first before venturing into more advanced and special scenarios.

Was I mistaken into thinking this was an introduction?

Thanks for your opinion. This post focuses on explaining both basic and more complex things. For example, you don't need to know about Thread pool, state machine or ValueTask to create async code. As I wrote in the summary 'I hope this post enriched your knowledge about asynchronism' and this is the main goal of the article.
