I think that if discoverability would be there from the start, we wouldnt have things like Hateoas or GraphQL developed in the first place - why do that if its there ?
First example shows how most APIs on Internet look like right now with all possible enhancments after that - presenting that they are far from ideal.
After that is a section which shows how to limit human interaction with API because it should be "machine to machine" designed and how it can be accomplished using the new approach.
Tho i understand its hard to get at first, some TLDR wouldnt hurt.

Hateoas is in the original spec, if you haven't read it. > Tho i understand its hard to get at first, some TLDR wouldnt hurt. Maybe some reading of basic etiquette would help there too.
