"newbie" doesn't mean "idiot".  Everybody wants to understand what is 
going on.

I heartly disagree. I saw so many faces _begging_ me to just say _what_ to 
do, not _why_, and quickly, please.

So? This is meant to be a /tool/. Not wanting to know how it works doesn't
make one an idiot, it is just economy.

My thoughts exactly.

And I did not want to force understanding onto the users. Heck, I even 
know people who use git and do not know about the index! They don't need 
to, either.
