You're right that I will be filling in a lot of those blanks.

To answer your question, we are assigning each person a test version, and then tracking how they do. This is the API you call to find out what version of the page this user gets. If the user has never been assigned a test version, then they will be assigned one. The calling code does not care whether the version was newly created. But you definitely need the person in there because the test assignment is tied to the person.

About the order I gave the explanation in, I've tried explaining it both ways and had people draw blanks. Conversely I've had people find it too obvious to talk about either way.

Still I'll go through and review that section with an eye to making it clearer.
