You're talking about docs here as if they're like a textbook on Calculus. Thorough, constant and unquestionably effective. Online docs are nothing like this. First, they can change as frequently as every few weeks, so there's no point in studying them exhaustively if they'll be useless after the next update. Second, they're often inferior to Google's answers on the topic, especially if you're using your question as the search query. Third, even if they are current and the best text resource available, they may still be bad. Halfhearted explanations or even whole pages saying "content should go here." Often worse than simply asking for an explanation in a Slack or a Discord. I don't think that would be true of an engineer with a physical tool, but it's often true of software tools.
