n. Documentation that has been obsessively dumbed down , to the point where
|
|
|
|
|
only a cretin could bear to read it, is said to have succumbed to the
|
|
|
|
|
drool-proof paper syndrome or to have been written on drool-proof paper. For
|
|
|
|
|
example, this is an actual quote from Apple's LaserWriter manual: Do not
|
|
|
|
|
expose your LaserWriter to open fire or flame. The SGI Indy manual included
|
|
|
|
|
the line [Do not] dangle the mouse by the cord or throw it at coworkers.
