I definitely agree with avoiding copy-paste. I always type tutorials - I guess it's part muscle memory, and partly because you have more time to think, but it definitely sticks better when doing that. And you usually get to see a few new compiler errors on the way :)
In a previous job I was transcribing letters from a requirements document into a program to generate nicely formatted PDFs. Officially, we were meant to copy and paste them to avoid typos. Unofficially, I always typed them and picked up a lot of errors that the clients were happy to fix. And they usually looked fine when I was just reading them with shallow focus.
