Scott,
Thank you for taking time to reply. You must be getting pretty tired
of all this. Worse, this is not a documentation issue, it's an Apple
issue.

Ultimately, learning is a very personal experience and we all do it
differently. I'm not surprised that there are issues for some
developers with the docs. We do our best to get you what you need.
But don't you see how biased the system is against those "some
developers" who have issues? Those are exactly the people least likely
to complain and least likely to file bugs against the docs! And if
they do, the bugs are unlikely to be actionable because the issues
they are encountering are not specific enough or in the wrong terms.
If you experience just a tiny teeny number of people who voice
usability problems with such a powerful filter in place then you know
that the problem is large and real.
Don't you see how different the learning experience is for 100,000
iPhone developers in 2008 vs. a few hundred Next developers twenty
years ago? And the differences in motivation? And background? And
sponsorship?
Scott, you *are* doing your best, and you are doing a great job with
what you have. But I feel that there is a part of Apple that is in a
state of denial, and until that changes, we're stuck with bug reports
as a means of trying to change corporate vision.
