No, I'm unhappy with both, my suggestions go in both directions.

The main technical concern is that querying is not explained on it, it's
explained on the "details page".

More in concrete, if you add "In PostgreSQL, a table can inherit from zero
or more other tables, and a query can reference either all rows of a table
or all rows of a table plus all of its descendant tables. The latter
behavior is the default." should be a "complete" explanation of the feature.
