@mhoye ACK. Saying similar for years.
I was sitting in front of a problem some time ago, was reading the docu and after hours didn't find out what the hell the dev was meaning. I asked in the IRC channel for help and then two devs started to point on different chapters in the docu and yelling on each other, until I found a stack overflow where a linux engineer said "the docu was shit, the solution is something else" and it worked.
