I used to do that, and yes, I agree:  When I read the whole manual there are 
always parts that confuse me, either "what the heck does that mean?" or "why 
would I ever want to do that?".  But a year later, when I realize why I might 
want to do that, I can go back to the manual and find that bit again.

would be something more like a Confucian.  The worst judge of all is the man 
now most ready with his judgements: the ill-educated Christian turning 
gradually into the ill-tempered agnostic, entangled in the end of a feud of 
which he never understood the beginning, blighted with a sort of hereditary 
boredom with he knows not what, and already weary of hearing what he has never 
heard.  -from the Introduction to _Everlasting Man_ by G K Chesterton */

and surprised some old hands by saying "isnt there an option for that..."
