Jump to conclusions much? You'd be wrong to assume that people who can successfully read (and comprehend) documentation are going to be the first to Google their way to an answer. Quite the opposite, in my experience. Computer science? Sure, read CS books. When I want to learn a framework, I've got no use for CS books at that moment. I'll use my experience with the language, and my ability to read docs to learn how to do things. For core concepts, where one is entering uncharted waters, I've found that a book can provide some helpful guidance.
