I guess that the purpose of the one-line summary is to communicate the spirit of the policy. The details that you are asking for, is what constitutes the majority of the the policy document itself. While you could probably summarize the body of the policy in more detail, having multiple lists with different levels of details would likely lead to confusion. So I think that the approach they've taken makes sense

As was said elsewhere on the Internet:

Don't get me wrong, I welcome this policy, I just wish the "one line zinger" was a little more detailed, because if you come away from the article without reading on (or, more realistically, if secondary sources pick up this quote without the surrounding context), one could easily get a wrong idea.
