I hope you appreciate the amount of effort that has gone in to writing
such a big manual. You may not have a need for it. This doesn't mean
that it is not worthwhile.
At the minimum, we should respect other's labour particularly when you
yourself [1] and many people are enjoying the fruits of it.
Since you have some thoughts on how the manual should look like would
you mind circulating a draft copy of the modified, improved manual?
That's an open offer and a challenge as well.
Remember Emacs/Orgmode is a Free Software and you have all the freedom
in the world to influence how it evolves and specifically make sure that
it evolves to suit your needs.
Being a Free Software, the distinction between the consumer (aka user)
and the contributor (aka developer) just blurs. Understanding this
distinction requires a paradigm shift in the way you think.
Footnotes:
[1] It is not clear from your message whether you yourself are an
Orgmode user.
