Clarify warning about too-few blocks 

Today, the warning about too-few blocks is not clear about what happened
versus what was expected; that's the main thing I want to address.

Clarifying this makes the message somewhat longer, so I reduce its length
by removing some redundant or meaningless (IMO) reasons for the symptoms.
