I'm only guessing, but it looks to me like the documentation was written 
by developers with poor writing skills, and approved by other developers 
who knew what the first ones meant.  At no time was anybody consulted 
who didn't already understand the subject matter completely.  One 
wonders what would happen if somebody would open a bugzilla on the man 
page claiming that it's impossible to understand, especially if there 
were a number of comments by other "mere users" complaining about the 
exact same thing.
