The value of an explanation of simple concepts is in their simple AND adequate explanation.
You can cut the implementation details, but can't cut essential properties to simplify, because then you're not explaining the original concept at all.
That is already mentioned in the document itself. Also mentioned is that a proper implementation would have to deal with collisions.
