To expand on this slightly, the point is that if you say "it's not clear to me 
what the use case for this document is," that's a valid objection, and the 
authors ought to address it, either by explaining to the satisfaction of the 
consensus-caller and, more generally, the reviewers, why it's not relevant, or 
by fixing the document to be clearer about what the current intended use cases 
are.   But if you want that to happen, you should really raise your objection 
in a way that makes it clearly actionable, so that the authors know you are 
asking them to do something.
