This is not a documentation issue, Unless your issue with the documentation
is "the documentation doesn't tell me how to do something the server isn't
designed to do"

Other things it can't do that Valve don't make explicit: "Server can't make
ice cream.  Server can't help you pull girls.  Server can't see your house
from here"

The reason there's a backlash here is because you're using "lack of
documentation" as an excuse to tell valve how you think they should have
done things.  Some of your points I agree with.  Some of them I don't.  But
your line of argument I think is what I take issue with.

"Square peg does not come with instructions on how to fit it into round
hole" doesn't impress me.  "Peg should support being round, because there's
a lot of round holes here" might.  But the way you phrase your opinions,
probably not.
