Sometimes section names are more informative than node names.
For example, open the Emacs manual and compare node vs section names:
node names vs section names
Basic:: Basic Editing Commands
Display:: Controlling the Display
International:: International Character Set Support
Maintaining:: Maintaining Large Programs
Dired:: Dired, the Directory Editor
etc.
Most of the time short node names are unintelligible
without explanation provided by section names.
Also section names provide additional help in logical division
of the manual, e.g.
Important Text-Changing Commands
Major Structures of Emacs
etc.
