I was making a similar point to somebody recently that, the majority of the 
words in the manuals do not change between versions and just because some words 
were written back in the 90s (or earlier?) and are still in the manual, doesn't 
mean that they're equally applicable in today's world. Especially if they're 
performance advice.
