For the sake of record,

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.
