This could be misleading, as onchain Views is indeed a way for returning value from contract to contract. But the Events is not. It's an indirect way, as an off-chain routine is needed for triggering following up actions.

Changed this to:
- Use Views to return data to smart contracts or off-chain applications
- Use Events to return data to off-chain applications

nit
- If we want to be more precise, it's one type of internal operation of Tezos.
- "send" could be a bit misleading here, as it could make people think it's a way to actively trigger or execute an off-chain application from a smart contract.

nit:
We can actually find the result here (click view RPC JSON). It's more clear that Event is an internal operation.

Is it enough to say this? Is there an RPC call I can do from the command line to get that JSON? Might be good to mention that.
You can see the complete content of the event operation by looking up the operation hash in a block explorer. For example, to see the operation in the previous example, look up the operation
onw8EwWVnZbx2yBHhL72ECRdCPBbw7z1d5hVCJxp7vzihVELM2m.
