I'd like to amend the Org manual introduction as in the attached patch.

human-readable first and foremost rather than just computer-readable.

This is the first section of the manual. Most of the new users will see
it. So, I'd like to hear any objections before installing the patch.

Readability of raw Org text is one of the core principles we maintain
when designing Org markup language.  Let's state it explicitly in the
manual.
