I study Architecture and I make architectural renders at least once a week. I'm not saying I know more about VRAY than you. I'm only speaking from my own experience with the software. You started off great by explaining the gamma 2.2 settings, something most beginner tutorials don't even mention. But vray and rendering as a whole is a complex process if you want to do it right. It is my personal opinion that you need to know why you are selecting a setting right from the start, not a few tutorials later. I've learned it the hard way, not at school but by browsing through tuts online and on dvd's. It was very confusing because most tutorials didn't even explain why you'd had to chose a certain setting. That's the only thing missing in your tutorial. Beginners need to grasp all the settings one by one you use during the process. Once you understand how things work, you can figure out more on your own. Sorry you found my reply offending, just trying to give some advise for next tutorials. Well I wasn’t aiming at offending you.

Leaving settings at default works for a lot of stuff in Vray and can produce excellent renders. This tutorial is meant to put people on their way and showing them the CORRECT way of working with Vray, without too much un-needed explaining on settings that don't matter (yet). The correct way also means that you should at least initially try work with real-life camera settngs instead of color-mapping, since camera settings make a whole lot more sense than Color-mapping settings (especially for beginners). And I do take a little offence form your post, you sound like you want to prove you know more about Vray than me. I honestly think you are the one who's missing the point that this is meant as an absolute basic introductory tutorial, not meant to confuse a total beginner at all. I agree on some points:

Why didn't you even mention Color Mapping, I mean, it's my fav feature in VRAY, I use it like always.. Especially when scenes are over lit or to dark, just playing around with some of the settings over there gives good results instead of tweaking camera settings. No offence but this tutorial is not exactly the best thing to follow for real beginners, I mean, they don't even know WHY you chose Brute force & Imap instead of light cache for example. In my opinion it is better to first understand why you are using something instead of just following along, doing what the guy in the tutorial tells you to do. Just my 2 cents and again, no offence, you obviously know what you're doing but beginners just don't think like that :) Nice basic tutorial but I’ve got a few remarks:
