True enough, but with the number of technologies a developer is "required" to know these days, I have a bit of trouble buying the RTFM argument (unless it is referring to freely available, easily searchable help docs on the vendor/author website). The the amount of technologies I use on a day to day basis, it's literally impossible for me to RTFM on all of them, especially if by RTFM you mean read a book on the technology (not to mention, which book should I read....figuring that out can take an hour. And is reading just one book sufficient?)
