Wasn't the old Linux joke, don't ask "how do I do X with Linux" (because you'd get ridiculed for not reading the docs) but instead, just state "X isn't possible with Linux" and then someone would show you how it's done?

Or eventually you could answer wrongly to a question without answers, triggering plenty of correct ones

yeah, it's an interesting socio-psychological phenomenon

Ha so well known it has a name, Cunningham’s law
