because i learned it exactly this way long time ago
with FC3 after a machine did not boot and it was
absolutely logical for me what this boot-menu means
and even if not totally - if my machine does not boot
without interaction and i have a menu at startup i
would simply try the other option

and having this example from the centos-list does make it
very clear - this users question was explictly how to
boot with another kernel, so he found out somehow that
there is more than once and even then needed help!
