Nested and child tasks wrong output about cs10dotnet6 HOT 3 CLOSED

At the bottom of page 522 I say, "Note that, although we wait for the outer task to finish, its inner task does not have to finish as well. In fact, the outer task might finish, and the console app could end, before the inner task even starts!"

This is the behavior that you are seeing. Continue to step 6 to force the inner method to run by adding the parameter that makes it a child task:

The performance chapter is one of the trickiest to learn so do not be too concerned. It is the sort of thing that you can come back to if you ever need to implement it in a real project.
