At the meeting earlier last week, the first step of good debugging was
to RTFM.
I just happened across an appropriate quote...
Documentation is worth it just to be able to answer all your mail
with 'RTFM'
-- Alan Cox (heavily involved in Linux kernel development)
Of course, this ability to defer questions to the documentation only
works when 'f' maps to 'fine'.
The obscene mapping of 'f' is ambiguous: poor code or merely poor
documentation. Either way, it can't (yet) be considered a fine package.
