No, you misunderstand me:

You shouldn't have to run a program with almost undocumented
parameters to find out what it does.

Graphs and images can't.  But the texts can, and should.

I'd suggest that it's more of an attitude problem.  Incomplete man
pages don't help anybody.  There's no reference to some options, nor
to the online documentation.  It also claims that the info pages
(without graphs or images) are included in the info pages.  And I
can't find any reference to the online documentation in the build
instructions or any other file in the top level build directory.  How
did the Microsoft build people find out about it?

No wonder people are confused.
