Discoverability of Blender interface, is it an objective of Developers?

Wanted to move a couple of points of said object in shaded mode. Behind points are not selected. Very well there is a button in interface that says “Select” so it should be here that i have the option. Oops no option related to it there. Another crash into a wall and entropy increasing.
With my experience i worked it out changing to wireframe mode but to find that is it impossible to to move hidden points behind in shaded mode i had spend another more 15 minutes until i discovered that there is in interface a button that clicks a transparency mode to do it.
