Ok. I simply left it as source. In my experience (for any software
project), without sources for claims which are not absolutely obvious
and doubtable, people will start discussing it everywhere on the
internet and claim incompetence.

I think this is good. At least in small font. A spoiler (hidden text you
can open with one click) would be even better. New users can start
learning the basics while the advanced users won't ask/feedback "OMG,
this is so obvious. Why are you wasting my time explaining such basic
stuff."

Moved it to the very bottom in small font. Feel free to kick the "Why
this page?" headline.
