A lot of WHY

Great post from @cje on Twitter but also got a lot of questions

1. If the data flow starts from 
server/api/routers/examples.ts
 , why is the 
create-t3-app
 documentation starts from 
pages/api/trpc/[trpc].ts
? Is there specific reason for that? Or is it just a big massive loop that has no starts and ends?
2. When you say Next.js hands the request to tRPC, shouldn't it be from 
pages/[somepage]/*.tsx
 -> 
page/api/[someapi]
 ->
server/trpc.ts
 -> 
server/trpc/*.ts
or some 
server/db/*.ts
?
3. Why do we need 
utils/api.ts
? Why not just define the data flow and React Query Hooks in 
server/*/*.ts
? Why not just import router type and enable 
superjson
 in 
pages/api/*.ts
 ?
4. When you say 
Shape of API
 , what could be the 
shape
 of 
api
? You meant the input/output type and types of procedures?
