Sorry -- that sounds harsh.
I say "study the source code" because the source code is the canonical
definition of what is actually going on. If I can understand the source
code, I can decode the bits and bytes in memory and on disk (e.g. data
structures) and understand what operations are performed on them (e.g.
algorithms). The few times I have done this, I learned details that
were not in the man pages. I suspect that solving the OP's problem may
require such knowledge.
