A mechanic that has no tells and kills you outright isn't a teacher; it's just an extremely lazy method of creating difficulty.

If you want to create a mechanic with no tells, that forces you to adjust after the fact, then it absolutely should NOT be a 1 hit kill. A mechanic giving you no opportunity to adjust and learn doesn't exist to teach; it exists to be a cheesy unavoidable death for new players.
