Having this in the Elisp manual helps developers, but it is not all that helpful
for a Customize user trying to understand the behavior.
Stephen described a purely end-user interaction. And yes, the behavior is not
obvious. We obviously felt it sufficiently non-obvious to add that paragraph to
the Elisp manual. End users deserve some info that helps them too understand a
bit.
At the least there seems to be an Emacs-manual doc bug here. Let's please add
something to help users navigate the labyrinth.
