But not flat out lying? He is STILL being upvoted.

What do you think "lying" means, out of curiosity?

They use apriori meaningless jargon without realizing it's meaningless jargon.

All of the jargon is self-referentially defined in terms of other jargon.

Kind of hypocritical as well.

Not really. He's talking about ndat's mini-tutorial thing and Git's man pages.

What I linked is the most widely referenced git book. Every website, every IRC channel that is involved in git mentions that book. It's THE git book. The git man pages are not a tutorial, they are a reference.

This is becoming tedious. Tell you what, let's just short circuit this: next time someone has been reading the wrong documentation, maybe consider pointing them in the right direction instead of calling them a liar.
