So you read the manual and somebody told you.

  ... yea I thought that was reasonably obvious. I'm posting more about the 'artificial' claim. If we had to pick sides, I'm with you. The manuals and their tales are not ever-present or absolute, while still true. Those descriptors do exist. They do useful things. However, there's also no significant consequence to ignoring them. Abusing them is questionable, of course - but not guaranteed to go poorly

    No need to pick sides. Manuals are a best effort by people writing code to communicate their intent. RTFM is an expression of frustration that people don't pay attention to their efforts before spouting off.
