That one critically wrong line of text in the docs, however, which I
read and have naively trusted for nearly a year now did a *lot* to send
that whole entire thread over the edge into complete chaos without
resolution simply because we didn't understand each other's language.

Maybe it's good to mail the author of the manual about what he caused by
incorrectly using terms, thereby causing heaps of confusion with its users. If
someone acts like he knows what he is talking about, and yet is spilling
complete nonsense (just because he unknowingly doesn't apply the right words in
the right way, like you did) then it may very well look like he's not WILLING
to learn, *or* that he is very stupid. Both not being a very desireable image,
only caused by misunderstanding.

I think that is what happened to you in R.A.T.

Misunderstanding btw is the primary reason for most of the conflicts, divorces
etc. etc...
