Who reads docs when he can use half-baked scraps of mistaken
recollection?

"I read it in the documentation" nowadays is synonymous with "This was
somewhere in the list of random websites Google popped up before my
attention span saturated".  If you ever made a historical mistake, heck,
even if you discussed _not_ making a historical mistake, people are
going to depend on it rather on the manuals coming with your software.

Been there, done that, got the nervous breakdown.

"What documentation would that happen to be?" "Can't find it right now,
but I am sure it was there."
