What's so hard about a specific authentication flow?
You have a user, a client app, a resource service, and an authorization service. You have a sequence of requests that send data back and forth. The end result is a token that client apps can send to a resource service. What bit requires volumes to understand?
Take a minute to check RFC6749. All authorization flows in there require between 2 to 6 pages to fully define. Is this too much info to parse?

But yeah, oauth is absolutely something you forget right after using it and have to bootstrap every time you touch it.
