Thanks for the input.

These settings are indeed on purpose. Would you mind exchanging some more 
messages about this with me a bit to see what information would make it easier 
for a newcomer to comprehend?

To get the conversation started, I put together a description of what they mean 
here:

What do you think? Does this clarify the problem for you? If yes, what 
information would be useful to have in the image to better communicate the 
intent?

Cheers,
Doru
