Well, that's how I feel about a lot of Texinfo docs (not usually incorrect, but the

What irritates me is when I'm directed to a Texinfo document for something that could
have been done shorter in a man page if they had bothered to edit it down.
Just because all *my* writing is turgid, rambling and often incorrect, it doesn't mean
it's what I'm looking for. :-)
