This is one of the reasons why I like doing tutorials/passing on knowledge as such, because what is the point in hiding it to yourself !! and also I get to learn more about what people like in tutorials and probably may learn more about the topic in question.
I don't think you're getting what dcs is saying.

He is trying to tell you that your example is bad, not for the simplicity, but because the const_cast doesn't do anything.
