You can assume that the documentation has not been written with the goal
of being useless.  So just saying "I don't get it" is not going to help
when you don't bother pointing out what exactly you don't get.  I am not
going to rewrite the documentation from scratch a dozen times until it
magically turns into "Now I get it".

So please be more specific about what of the referenced chapter you
don't get.  I am pretty sure that the current state of the documentation
is better than random, so improving it entails figuring out the bad from
the good parts, or the next version will not be better.
