Statement bordering on papyrophobia. (Seems that is a real phobia)
- feoren 2y agoMore like fear of needless complexity and over-broad scope, which is actually rampant in library design.
- earnestinger 2y ago700 page manual can be produced in several ways. - Scope of the library is massive - very peculiar way of writing, with lot of impressively unnecessary description of minute detail, that the reader starts counting not only sheep but also breaths until the ultimate end before finishing a sentence. (I.e. Unnecessarily verbose) - very extensive docs describing things from various angles including references, topic based how tos and such. (I agree that the last one is the least likely, but there is always hope)
