I think the in-depth 'how this happens' definately belongs as sidebar text
- the 'optional extra reading'. The main text needs to be devoted to the
'just wanna drive the thing' users - but with the additional info for
'wanna drive it but also wanna know how it works' people.
We can't write a single book for both categories. But we can write a book
for 'just drivers' that has enough added extras for the 'backyard mechanics'
to get a basic idea, and to know where else to start looking. But without
making it clear that the extra stuff is optional, we'll freak out the
drivers.
