I agree with you. It’s like having too much doc, or doc so outdated it’s harmful. These are fairy tails. I’d take too much doc or outdated doc any time of the day over no doc/comments.

Too much documentation, outdated documentation or just plain wrong documentation leads to people simply ignoring it altogether, even the good parts.

Who cares if they ignore it. The moment where they get stuck on something then they can check the part that refers to that
