In my experience, microsoft's documentation seems to be written,
quite often, by people that have no idea what the systems in
question are supposed to be used for.

I have seen important issues go unmentioned.  I have seen code that
takes 30+ lines to do something that could have been done in one
or two I have seen documentation which adds nothing which could not
have been gleaned from the names of the things being documented.
Etc.

I would not assume that their example code is bullet proof.  Most
likely the original author ran it through one test case and went
on to document something else.
