I don't agree with you. If this article weren't for novice users then I
would agree that the answer needs to expanded. However, the purpose of
the document (and the very reason I wrote it) was to create a simple

it's more than likely that more experienced users will not be using this
article. :)

document for users who are interested, though I do not feel it's
necessary.
