I will have to check that out. Makes sense - some of us only need dimensions and a picture for some patterns and off we go.
Others (and at other times) need to start with: This is a needle. This is fabric. (woven, more description) This is thread. (Maybe skip how many variations of needles and thread there are at this point). This is a scissors. This is a rotary cutter, ruler, and cutting mat.
It is like learning a foreign language when starting out.
