Ignoring the discussion of in-page links and jumping straight to the meta-issue:

If the users don't understand a particular feature of the web, one that's been 
around since its very beginning, then they (damn well) should feel insecure in 
their mastery. They are not masters (yet). If we don't confuse the users 
occaissionly, how will they ever learn that there is more to it than they 
think, and how will they ever increase their knowledge.

Or do we just dumb everything down until we have some small subset that 
everyone understands?

cheers,
