Joaz, you never miss a chance to complain about this issue.
You of course have a point, from a learning point of view, more comments and diagrams are helpful.
But from an entertainment point of view, more comments and diagrams slow the game down and can bog it down and make for less excitement.
More importantly, from a true Malkovich point of view, Violence and Magicwand truly show how strong, but not (no offense) really (like AGA 7dan) strong players actually think. They don't compose detailed diagrams in their heads and explore unlikely variations.
Instead the see a move and think "What is he thinking? - Lets see you get out this!"
It may not be as helpful, but it is entertaining, and I prefer my Malkovich straight, no filter.
