I know I shouldn't be writing this, but I am annoyed by what seems to be an attitude that I am required to do work for you to accomplish things that are of zero interest for me.

Perhaps the manual page

Why does the author of that bit assume I understand what they're offering, and where do I do to find out, and how much experimentation am I willing to do?

The author of that bit, me, was responding to particular problems that people were a) having and described accurately in forum posts, who b) helped work out what the problem exactly was, and who c) helped test the solution. It was a challenge, and the people raising the point were very willing to participate, to the point of providing mouse-hover tooltips further explaining what the options do.
I have no interest in how much experimentation you are willing to do, and only peripheral interest in whether you figure anything out. I do calibre development because I want to, for whatever reason I have at that moment. I am under no obligation to do work to satisfy your or anyone else's needs.
