I think all the four things above are mentioned in [PATCH 2/2 v2]
message, it contains who should the command pass blame to and the
order of the algorithm used. Would you please take a look at that
patch?

And the BASIC IDEA section just want to make a basic description about
how blame works briefly. If you thought that it is non-use for
end-users, how about just discard it and make a more technical one at
technical/git-blame.txt ?
Thanks!
