Sorry, I do not understand this sentence.

I see. Then, we are in clear disagreement here.

Maybe others can chime in to clarify if jokes in 3.16 Group Topics
section of GNUS manual hamper the understanding or not.

Or, would it be even better to run a small poll, similar to Emacs
survey, presenting two versions of the section: with and without jokes,
and asking which one is preferred? That will draw a more clear picture
compared to just two mailing list dwellers arguing about what other
people prefer.
