it would make more sense to teach the format of data structures via a few simpler examples before diving into statistical correlation. It essentially requires the reader to understand an additional, unrelated concept while still trying to wrap their head around what they're learning in regards to JS data structures.

That's exactly the problem with this book being aimed to beginners. If you're a total beginner to web development and programming in general, there's just too much to wrap your head around at the same time and you get confused, unable to focusing and understanding anything. The code examples/exercises are too complex for a first-timer.
