Does anyone doubt that the real goal of "Documentation" is just page views? I have nothing bad to say about SO as a Q&A site. I stopped answering years ago, yet I've benefited from it easily ten times a day. And when I recently asked my first question in years, on a Saturday, I got a single, correct answer from an expert (edit, I mean, the author of a published book on SQL) within an hour.[0] But the OP's question reminds me a little bit of how people talk about the US Congress. How come these high achievers never accomplish what they went there to do? Well, maybe they're extremely good at doing what they really intend.
