Another problem is that people skim to the "most important bits" without knowing they're skipping something important. Then some of those people complain how the manual is shit.

I guess it could be shit if it is way too verbose though.

Exactly what I was thinking. Like needing to understand a huge preamble just to do the Very Simple Thing. I just want to move on, not marry this Linux command.
