My point is that IF an ordinary user is starting at Import[] help, AND IF Import[] is a command and a process whose success depends heavily on file paths AND IF paths is a fairly complex topic with which said ordinary user may not have great previous familiarity [all of these being hypotheses which I think are reasonable ones] THEN it would be helpful to put just a simple note of, or pointer to, the path concept in the Import[] help documentation.
