Having had time to think of my earlier comment I am almost entirely sure
that I lost the point, the reader, or both.  I'll try to keep it short this
time.  I completely missed one of the points that I had wanted to make.  A
discription with just the rules can be writen in such a way that the author
puts their own tone or flavor into it, this gives the reader a feeling that
the author is speaking to them.  This effect is helpful because for some
reason it is easyer to understand the same information if it seems like it
is said to the reader, it is also easier to remember.  This probably
doesn't make it all the way to literature, but it is somehow more than a
barebones discription.  This somewhat goes with what John said about it
being a kind of conversation.
