I use hg by choice and git when needed. The git interface feels confusing to me, but after learning the data model (enough to construct commits with the github data api) it suddenly seems a lot simpler, which I feel is a good reason to grok what "ref" actually means.

That is true, but I’m not sure if it’s a good reason to use ‘ref’ in daily conversation.
