That is exactly what is behind all the vitriol that is spilled on the web
between idiot-n00bs and unhelpful-knowitall jerks.   The n00b cannot RTFM if he
or she is not fully conversant in the precise **terminology** of what the
program can do.  The knowitall answers grudgingly because he knows that the
answer is in TFM, and makes some kind of comment about their own martyrdom and
"you got what you paid for" if it is freeware that is being discussed.
