That wouldn't be consistent with other Xs on the site. Alhough I do agree that it would be better to skip the trivialities.

It's easy enough to skip ahead. I like that it doesn't leave any of that out; it's not so tedious that you can't scan for interesting bits, with the rest as reference material. Maybe I am biased from reading on a laptop where scrolling and scanning is easy?

Probably. I first looked at the page on a tablet, where the viewport is much smaller and so scanning/skimming is much harder. I later got back to the page on a laptop, and I scrolled past uninteresting parts without any problems.

One thing I think would be good on learnxinyminutes is an ability to link to a specific line. Is it possible and I just missed it?

I havent seen anything like that, but I like that idea.
