Hi, why did you type these 2 commands: 1."chown mike hello.txt" why typing this one? 2."sudo chown mike hello.txt"

Wouldn't be just easier 2nd option from the start? I am a bit confused.

The two comments were typed, (I'm assuming) to show the learner options in what you can and can't do. (it helps me learn when a little more is given)

I see it like this:

If I were to explain to you how case sensitive passwords work, it would be fine for me to tell you that it only works if you have the right capitalization. " Blah blah blah... (apple !== aPPle)"

But it takes it to the next step and bypasses your curiosity to show you that it won't work, (even if you use the same letters), and THEN tell you it won't work.

console.log("apple" === "aPPle") "As you can see these are not the same"

Does that make sense?
