And when the common use case is somehow
different or unexpected, from reading
the description.

And when there is a really exotic use-case
that no one would ever think of from just
reading the description.

Ever read grammar book for natural (human)
languages? First there are a bunch of rules.
One is like "...?" Then comes examples. And one
is like "aah"!

Finding _the right_ examples is the challenge.
Examples that illustrate the rule(s) and also
tells something interesting in their own right.
