Your English is OK.

I just feel that what you are suggesting is inappropriate in all cases.

I also feel that how the WhatsThis entries are displayed (whether it takes one 
click or two, or there is some special command to bring them all up at once, 
or the theme magically changes the colour) is an orthogonal argument to 
whether we have 100% coverage. That wasn't a specific criticism of what you 
were suggesting, only that people who argue about the specific display 
arrangement are in the detail, when the big issue is that we have nothing to 
display for many of the dialogs.
