I would have seen nothing wrong with using sudo before each command 
because that's how sudo works.  I don't use it myself because I got into 
the habit of using su long before sudo came with any distro I used, but 
I see nothing wrong with it being used in a tutorial where, as you point 
out, you can't know your readers skill level.  (I sometimes get the 
impression that there are Linux users who are aware of su but are afraid 
to use it, possibly because they started out on Ubuntu.  I don't judge 
them; I just shrug and get on with whatever I'm doing.)
