I noticed that too, but just assumed Bud was intentionally showing us the method he did. I probably would have used the tilt on the wind ptn, but there is more than 'one way to skin a cat' as we are all learning!
I spoke to Bud earlier today again - he tutored me a little on the "think out loud" approach to making tutorials. He is a MASTER at that and is one reason we all enjoy the videos so much - we can tell exactly what he's thinking as he guides us through the tutorials!
