It's your patch, after all.

But if the reason why you added the comment was "this is a tutorial"
as you said, I would imagine that it would help readers to say why
a particular header is needed, when the tutorial text tells them
that they need to add it.  From a quick look at the patch, it seems
that the updated text says what the change did (i.e. add a header),
which is rather obvious in the sample code, without saying why the
addition is necessary?
