The impression given in other discussion about this was the intention for eintr to be close and interwoven with elisp at a level of detail that bends over backwards for a ,non-programmer'.

There are in general two kinds of people. 

One digests the elisp. Straight away.

The other prefers eintr at first. 

Having tips of the elisp in the eintr is consciousness raising and invites the reader to go far one day.
