lots of ways to get yourself into lots of deep water, yes. and a large 
disparity between beginners and experts.

there are large portions of the handbook that demonstrate vividly just how 
profound my lack of understanding remains, despite repeated attempts. i'd 
definitely welcome an intermediate level documentation. and a convenient 
means to confirm a) accuracy and b) timeliness, both of which seem 
non-trivial to me, would also help.

regards.
