I agree with you but in a larger sense, in that the learning to use the tab key (which is an action key to initiate some sort of completion in the instance you're talking about) is a first step to understanding the shell's features. If you are using csh, the tab key is just a tab, there is no completion. I happen to use zsh, which has programmable completion (bash does too), and comes with many useful builtin completions. For example... if i run ssh and start the name of a host... zsh checks /etc/hosts and will complete hosts it finds there. It can also complete command line options and a zillion other things. I'm not sure that teaching people the features of the shell is a topic for the blfs book, but it is very important...
