Just a funny anecdote. There's not always a point.

I was confused as well. How you phrased it, it seemed that your funny story was about how cool the docs were and saved your ass or something like that :)

It wasn't his, you answered to someone else.

It's funny that under "maybe it was an example of nobody reading shit all" there is a comment where someone didn't read the nickname and thought he's answering to the anectdote's poster comment :D

Right now? Almost half past 12.

Well, I thought it was funny, but I read and understood all of the words.

That's a very salient point. And reading well all the time is super hard. I think that's one of the reasons why people don't write documentation. First of all, who's gonna read all that? Second of all, who's gonna read all of that correctly?
