I recently encountered a new user that was led astray by this document.
First, it implied that it was okay to use unverified import with "trusted and reputable sources," which is just wrong. Replaced that with a warning and moved to the top.
Second, it referred to the Monero software as "the wallet" or even "your wallet," which led the user to the location of, well, their wallet file, instead of the binaries.
Lastly, it seems that people are doing this because they somehow just assume it will be faster. I'm pretty sure the reverse is true, which means that no one should need this tool except for testing and development. This seems worth clarifying at the top.
Also fixed some capitalization.
