Accusing him of laziness is unfair.
That was an explanation why i hadn't done it myself for a long time.
Oh, okay.
Getting a description (from documentation or from someone) is usually
a hell of a lot more efficient (and safe) than having to experiment
with a feature.
Depends. In this case there is no danger.
And how does one know that a priori? All sorts of things have unexpected
side effects.

So? Why waste time (re-)experimenting to find out knowledge that
already exists (and should be documented somewhere findable)?
(That would be like telling science students that instead of learning
what past scientists did and then going on to try to build on that
knowledge, they have to re-discover whatever has already been
discovered.)
