ITS cutadapt trimming of primer and reverse complement of the reverse primer

It sure is picky! Do you think it is worthwhile for me to comment on the ITS tutorial on here (Fungal ITS analysis tutorial) to point out that this may be an issue when running the cutadapt step with your own data? In the tutorial, the forward primers have already been trimmed in the raw reads that they use, so those steps outlined in the tutorial work fine for that data.
