Root Rooting is harder than Jailbreaking

[MacFett]

Yes or no?

Now at the c:\android\platform-tools> prompt enter:
adb push su /system/bin
adb push busybox /system/bin
That puts the files your phone needs to allow root access.
Next you need to go back into the phone;
adb shell
Now head over to the location of the new files;
cd /system/bin
Then you change the permissions of the two files you just put onto the phone with;
chmod 4755 su
chmod 555 busybox
Lastly exit and reboot the phone;
exit
adb reboot

I had the same thoughts, I couldn't understand him at all. I even used a headset and cranked the volume to max. Again, try this.
[How-To] Root the LG Optimus V - Android Forums

I agree with you. Before I rooted my phone I watched the videos and tutorials the OP mentions and it was extremely disjointed and hard to understand. I used the guide you show here and it was a piece of cake. I had tried ROMTools before that but it crashed due to failure to load the LG drivers properly.
