Bad Promises Tutorial

Question

It's confusing and unhelpful to describe promises as alternative to setTimeout, and then use BOTH in the same example:

function asyncFunc(work) {
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
if (work === "")
reject(Error("Nothing"));
setTimeout(function() {
resolve(work);
}, 1000);
});
}
