I'd not bother mentioning aggressive-resize TBH.
How about this instead?
Note it looks like we've been using tabs for indentation in the rest of

* Why do I see dots around a session when I attach to it?
tmux limits the size of the window to the smallest attached session. If
it didn't do this then it would be impossible to see the entire window.
The dots mark the size of the window tmux can display.
To avoid this, detach all other clients when attaching:
$ tmux attach -d
Or from inside tmux by detaching individual clients with C-b D or all
using:
C-b : attach -d
