   No, this shows that the philosophy is not that clearly defined: what
   are these invariant sections in the documentation, are they really free
   software?

Just like software isn't an mammal, it would be wrong to apply what
applies to mammals as it does to software, so making the case that
manuals are software you make a mistake that cannot be corrected in
later discussions -- since your base premesis is already wrong.
