After working in Aero, I'm still amazed airplanes fly at all.

Every single line of that document would have been double checked multiple times, and literally have 3x more documentation tracking why that piece of top level documentation exists and tracking any changes to it.

These days git handles the tracking changes thing very nicely and almost effortlessly.

Good for git? Gotcha comment is not useful when the industry (as far as I've seen) isn't using git to write manuals.
