Thank you. This is explicitly the type of document I was looking for.
It doesn't answer all my questions but does prompt fruitful questions.

It tries to answer the questions "Why?" and "How?".
Man pages focus strongly on "What?"
The ideal article would consider the "Five Ws and How" of journalism.
