For the sake of record,

    http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=14486

I have "permitted" the bug to be closed because I felt that would be the
most expedient thing to do.

I do think that hitting a developer with clue-bat would help.  (Even if
hitting him, leaves him as clue-less and help-less as before)

----------------------------------------------------------------

I believe most people start with

    * Emacs Lisp Intro: (eintr).   

The tutorial of that nature has no reasons to emphasize that there are
multiple points (so to speak).  Now once people become reasonably
proficient, they continue to harbour a sub-conscious model that there is
only one point.  

I think simple hyperlinking between the nodes will help bring out the
nuance.
