Yeah, I see people describe it like that all the time, it's never corrected, and doesn't match how I always thought mortgages in general work (and definitely doesn't match mine), so I'm never entirely sure if it's a

It is not possible to manually document everything down to individual lines of code. You'll drive yourself crazy trying to do so (and good luck getting anyone to look at that massive mess), and that's not even counting how docume
