That's what the indexing is for, and the `i' command inside Info.  We
should educate users to use that much more than they do, and we should
strive to make our indexing even better.

I disagree: I think explaining major concepts is something the FAQ
should _not_ do; they are already explained in the manual.

Yes, I know many computer users are used to look in the FAQ before
they look in the manual, but I think we should convince Emacs users
that's not the right way of looking something up in the docs.
