I've been reading the section on list functions, and it goes into a complex example without ever saying what a list function _is_.
- what it is
- how the URL gets translated into the request
- why you use it instead of a view, a show
- how it combines with views
- what exactly getRow() returns
- what exactly send() takes, and does

Leaping right into details and an "exciting example" without the "hello world" example which reveals only how the thing works.
