I've said what I think is the closest to the truth.
Now if someone don't like the hint I gave him, he can simply ignore what
I write, the same way I'll ignore most questions that seem much like RTFM.

It seems to be this type of thinking that sound like "Why read a book
when I can ask question". Exactly.... Why be smart and understand how
things work (so I don't have to ask questions) when I can simply learn
how to repeat like a parrot.
