That's a worthy idea to learn. I've actually found it quite trivial, which means I'm either too smart or too dumb to understand it. That MDP diagram reminded me of the Feynman's path integral model of electrons: the double slit experiment looks as if electrons take all possible, within constraints, paths and the interference image is the sum of them. Except that in the MDP diagram, parameters of the two slits can vary, within some boundaries, and that varying changes the interference image, so the question that MDP answers is "how the interference image can change if we vary the slits parameters within these boundaries"?

Or that Andrew is very good at explaining things :)
