Yes and no. The default association works fine unless one needs additional command line arguments - which is the case here.

If you are taking your time to make a tutorial for this then it mean the majority of users don't. I weep for humanity.

Not really. I decided that if I'm explaining the idea anyway then I should explain it so that it's accessible also to users who lack most of the skills we tend to take for granted (which is generally who any tutorials are written for).
The people reading those tutorials come from two general groups:
* Those who are already fairly capable and only need one or two details to do everything else by themselves
* Those who haven't done much beyond basic computer use, but are capable of following instructions

The tutorials are written to be accessible to the latter group, because those amount for majority of the readers of the Beginner's Guide.
(Yes, there is a third group: computer-illiterate people NOT capable of understanding or following simplest instructions, or more frequently lacking any motivation to expend that effort)
