I once had an interesting argument about Learning Perl. The first chapter, when I picked up the book, was a tour of Perl. I loved it. It showed me all of the highlights with no details at all. I never read another chapter, and instead picked up the second book in the series to use as a reference. My counter in this argument HATED that first chapter. They almost didn't read another one, because it put all of these examples in front of them with no depth. They thought the book would be much improved by removing that chapter. I would have been bored to tears by the book this person wanted to read. I'm not going anywhere in particular with this, except to say that the world takes all kinds. Sometimes docs don't exist simply because nobody realized someone else would find that shape of document useful, so they decided not to write it. The docs I love may well be the docs you hate :)
