I will note that when I asked you for more information as to what you thought was missing or incorrect, I got no response. If you tell me _exactly_ what you think you need, I can try to get the information. However, I do need exact demands. General "you suck, tell us more" requests are not effective arguments with the documentation gatekeepers.
