Hmm. Yeah. Very much so. That's the kind of documentation I call "syntax happy". It tells you how to create a well-formed PROC STAT without ever saying what would happen if you did, or why you might want that, whatever it was, to happen. I see that kind of documentation way too often. By comparison, even this <https://www.ubersoft.net/comic/hd/2011/09/losing- sight-big-picture> might seem good. At least they try.
