We like to get emotionally involved. We like to learn and reinforce ideas and work things out for ourselves. This also allows for free will. If you refuse to try to understand, or refuse a reasonable explanation, then that's your choice.
I would agree up to a point. It becomes completely unnecessary and actually counter productive when illustrations and hyperbole are used in instruction manuals. This would go triple when it's instructions that your beloved children need to follow to save their immortal souls.

"God works in mysterious ways" just doesn't cut it.
