Often, there are two versions of my app: the previously released version,
which I actively use, and the version currently under development in Xcode.
If I have just been using the previously released version, and then I build
and run the development version and show the help, Help Viewer will
sometimes show the wrong help, the help from the released version.
This is because Help Viewer caches information about help books, and it
apparently uses the name of the help book as an index - and these two help
books (the one in the released version and the one in the development
version) are the same. Deleting com.apple.help.plist causes Help Viewer to
forget about its cached information and open the help book we're pointing at
right now.

Maybe the two moves are effectively comparable.
