Which explains why, all too often, their "explanations" are vague, 
highly limited, only references a single test case, which doesn't cover 
anything people might actually use it for, and the example was built 
around that test case. You know, like some moron talking about arrays, 
and using a "one element" array as an example (well, not quite that bad, 
but the example I am thinking of involved an API interface to controls, 
which **would have** used a list/array of controls, but the example, and 
explanation, gave no indication how the bloody heck to populate such a 
thing, or use it with the API, never mind that this step was a) kind of 
the point of the API interface being described, and b) non-trivial for 
the specific use of controls being looked at).
