Arnold's First Law of Documentation
If it should exist, it doesn't.

Arnold's Second Law of Documentation
If it does exist, it's out of date.

Arnold's Third Law of Documentation
Only useless documentation transcends the first two laws.

Those three laws form a continuum

This is a funny story narrated by a professor of mine in a context which I will relate later.

There is this student who is studying for the English final examination. His teacher tells him that in the paper, there will be an essay, the topic being either about a cow or a cocunut tree...
The lazy boy he is, he studies only one essays, about the cow. But unfortunately in the exam, the essay asked is about the cocunut tree. So what does he do? What can he do. He writes a few sentences about the cocunut tree saying that it is tall, grows near the sea and in fields, that it gives cocunut and lives. That does not amount to much, realised the boy. So he then writes " Cows are attached to the cocunut tree" and then starts writing about the cow.... lol

PS I am not being gender specific by mentioning boy - it means human

Anyway the whole reason for the professor telling the story was not to amuse us (he did want the class to wake up) but to explain that a certain company was losing money bcause their products were being obsolete and not necessary. So they started modifying their products to suit current demands (he was discussing about DC current transformers - for the technish).

bye now
