Well, I'd like to keep the main page as simple as possible, and I'd
also prefer not to add a details page at all.  The only output that
users should see is a single page that they can print out and file to
close a case (in favor of having more time for the 9 other open cases
where ExoneraTor returned a negative result).  Adding more details,
even on a separate page, would only confuse users and not help much.

Regarding documentation, it's already there on the same page, so that
it will be printed out on the same page as lookup results.  If we can
phrase things better, please let's do that.  But let's not add another
page with explanations.

Does that make sense?

All the best,
Karsten
