It simply does, and it sure is comforting to hear it from an adeptus, 
the novice tends to think that it's all his fault but sometimes not.

It's more fun to hack code than to document it.  I wish we had more cathedral and less bazaar.  I remember my first exposure to a Linux GUI, I think it was KDE and you click on 'Help' and some of the pages were entirely blank or had one useless sentence.  I wonder if anything at all could possibly be done about this.
