Maybe a bit harsh.
It's only a course outline - playing devil's advocate, perhaps in the
course they contrast CDP and other multicast traffic with broadcasts. I
expect that whoever wrote the web page hasn't done the course - it's
probably taken straight from the table of contents. Just because the
topic is called "broadcast analysis" doesn't mean they can't analyse and
contrast multicast in that topic as well.
Or, perhaps they really are idiots.
