Do you mean that the bindings available for a given object are not
documented?
I think what he meant was that you cannot tell from your source files
whether bindings are being used in the interface.
Therefore it is quite difficult (for the beginner at least) to grasp
what the 'bindings' settings in IB will do.
With outlets/target-action you can actually see the corresponding code,
simply because you have to write them in order
to make it work ;-) And round and round it goes...
Think of undocumented as 'it is not written out in my code'.
I don't think that it was meant as a real critique but rather something
that jumps you in the face, when trying to
explain bindings to a beginner. I often notice (with inexperienced
programmers) a lack of understanding of how everything actually
connects. But that includes target-action and is really not
representative.
