I tend to not like preachy docs, so I'd probably leave out that last bit of advice, but it's OK. And I'd change "fails to work" to "fails,", but that's OK as-is too. One more -- I'd probably change "Many" to "Some" at the beginning. No need to waste time on it further if you'd rather not change it or disagree.
