While I'm a fan and advocate of situation-sensitive help files, these areas also are issues that can be addressed proactively with an effective and thorough manual prior to release that actually reveals effects without delineating exact results that would diminish both mystery and enjoyment.

Nobody minds a nudge now and then. Especially when it's one that moves you away from the cliff's edge.
