... or don't work? Or they need to do something legit that the tools don't allow? Welp, they get stuck between a collection of fire-breathing users until they find out how to go beyond the gui-finger stage.

Of course having readable manuals that are more than "click this button" goes a long way toward eliminiating the need for asbestos underwear... The stuff I've seen lately from Oracle on the install and manglement side seems pretty heavily weighted towards "if you use the menus everything works so just use the menus".

At that point mailing lists like this one may be the last place people can turn for legit answers.
