Speaking of "intentionally vague", there are some things that
users don't need to know... For example, what gets initialized
when you turn your PC on. All they really need to know, usually,
is that once it's on, they can start their application (or whatever).

Programmers, being detail-oriented of necessity, often want to
include things that are of interest only to other programmers
in the user documentation. The user documentation should be
suitably vague about the behind-the-scenes stuff.
