The studying section should tell people how to correctly use the answer buttons. And warn them not to use Hard as Again. Currently, the buttons are only explained in a much technical way.

Messages from Expertium and David, for future reference:

Easy - you answered correctly with no hesitation. Good - you answered correctly with a little bit of hesitation. Hard - you made a minor mistake and/or you hesitated a lot. Again - your answer was completely incorrect.

When a user is coming to the manual, they likely quickly want to know "what button should I press, and when" They have a task: I want to answer a card. And they want to understand how to effectively complete this task What a button does is needed in the manual, but the 'why' is more important to the user.
