I'm with Launrent in this one.

Even if they are only tooltips, a novice user could feel overwhelmed seeing
all this technical words and their definitions poping up.

Maybe there could be an option at the very beginning of the tour (in form of
a question), to let the user choose his level of knowledge (like completely
noob/average or any desired designation), and depending of the option
selected, make that the tour adapts to it, changing the level of technical
details displayed in each section..
