This describes nearly all engineering documentation I've seen. In many cases hobbyists having reverse-engineered how something works are better off than if they had been given the official documentation.
- mysterydip 4y agoI assume this happens when something is designed to do a thing, documentation is written, then the design is updated or bugs fixed or flow changed to handle a situation, and documentation never gets redone to match.
- chungy 4y agoI can imagine it being intentional too: You can tell whether the documentation was illegally used to create a competitor.
