and i take your question at face value.

it wouldn't surprise me at all. i've seen oracle docs which insisted, hammered on the desk and shouting, that everything be done exactly as they specify or else, yet there would be an obvious typo or other obvious screw-up which made the whole thing nonsense. as a mild example, i'll bet the installation docs still insist two variables be set in /etc/system which have been obsolete since solaris 8. but their installation scripts still check for them and fail if they aren't. i'll drop this lest i begin ranting.
