I sort of agree with you, though not completely.

I think we have other use cases.  Yes, we should try and
be useful for people with no knowledge of J.  However, we
should also be useful for people who come back after
reading a page or two.

For example, I think every "ad hoc vocabulary" page should
link to one or more official reference pages.  This will help
some people with intermediate knowledge levels and this
can also be useful for people editing a wiki vocabulary page.

Thanks,
