You said: "here documentation is clear.  Why do so many people tell 
different stories if it is so easy to read this up in documentation?"

And my answer is: maybe because the documentation is so poor.

Your example demonstrates this, because ri doesn't mention about 
Enumerable#find returning an Enumerator, which is what the original 
question was.

Admittedly, the errors are usually of omission, rather than being 
actually wrong. This particular one has been fixed in 1.9.2, but not 
backported to 1.8.7p299 (at least)
