Of course they do. They refer you to OTN and doc as stuff YOU can see, not =
necessarily as stuff they use to resolve your issue.  There are a lot of oc=
casions when the material they use to resolve your problems simply can't be=
 shared, because the material covers internals that is either:
  1. Dangerous to know - incorrect usage may cause even further problems
  2. Not necessary for you to know - see 1, or
  3. Provides information that competitors would LOVE to know

The very reason that material is in the doc or on OTN is to obviate you nee= ding the detailed internal material.

They also have access to the developers themselves, and in some cases (depe= nding on where in Support they're from) they also have access to the source=  code. That's more than I'll ever have. :(
