Amen!

As still pretty much of a beginner, I often have to look up a 
Mathematica command in 'ref/'.  And too often I'm dismayed to see the 
simplest example of its use showing some cute and/or clever application 
that leaves me scratching my head about how to understand the command's 
operation, and little the wiser for the look-up.
