I can give it tons of random documentation without having to read through it to understand what parts are useful without having to filter through the irrelevant/mistyped/outdated/badly written stuff, even give it undocumented (shitty old) code and ask specific questions about how it works or what the likely intention was.
I promise you it is useful to me. I use it every day. It can't set up the environment for me all by itself, but it sure can help me do it WAY faster and understand it way faster. Especially the boring stuff nobody wants to do.
PS: who has time to deeply understand all aspects of what they are working on? This makes no sense to me in the context of a job. If I would take time to deeply understand every tool, script or even source code I touch, I would NEVER get to doing ANY work.
