This is beside the point, but yes, I did read that text and the
subsections.  I think that in fact someone arriving at "Cut and Paste"
knowing very little about Emacs would be generally confused by mere
mentions of those concepts when cut/copy/paste are so much more
intuitive.  The parent does explain that Emacs can do the simple
operations but has a more powerful notion than the "cut" implemented
in most GUI applications.
