I have read the manuals and I reference them when *necessary*, I have
also read *some* of the code (howbeit by disassembling it), I do not
'take pride' in not having the time etc. (because I actually do *not*
have the time to consult references which have no relevancy to the work
I am currently dealing with), and I am 'adamant' that I am right in
pointing out that an assertion made by others is logically absurd when
it is logically absurd.

Some of us[1] have read not only the manuals but also the code.

much less.
