I once wrote documentation for a fairly complicated bit of control and analysis software for use with test equipment I built for PhD students to use in my department. Towards the end of the docs I added a message that basically said “if you read this, come and see me and I’ll buy you some nice food”. Needless to say I never had to buy anyone anything.

Microsoft documentation actually sucks information out of your brain and leaves you knowing less than before you read it.

At least they learned and stopped doing it.
