Hmm, window management is just one of those corners of emacs I have not gotten around to grokking yet. Yes, I am annoyed by it, but I usually keep things sane by just having upto 3 windows at a time and just manually fix things (usually just winner-undo) when emacs functions do whatever with the windows they like to do.
In my opinion, usually the manual contains sufficient examples and motivations to explain the topic, apart from the detailed reference documentation.
Even for your example, there is this page, which seems to give an overview of the topic. (Granted I haven't really delved in these parts of Emacs, so it is not possible for me to know whether the page does a good enough job.)

>hard to really grok without resort to existing code
But the code also ships with emacs, so technically...
