I did not even intend to (although I may have failed in that)
object to the concepts put forth but rather objected to my
being left ignorant about them. Even after repeatedly
expressing my persisting ignorance.

When formal docs are lacking the code can make all the
difference. I have been commenting undocumented code before.
But that was understandable code and its intent was intuitive
by good naming of variables, methods, and classes. Applying
the lingo of a certain programming language goes a great deal
towards self-documenting code. I too, of course, have been subject
to justified requests for documentation by, say, Hilmar.

Fully agreed.
