You missed the point of wisdom. The point being that if its documented
then one does not have an excuse for being tripped by what has been
previously declared to be one of the operating conditions.

Its well documented that if one sticks a finger in an AC outlet that one
gets shocked. That is a feature, not a bug. If that feature bites then
its your own fault because its a defined property of the system.
