Then I must be fluent in moonspeak without ever hearing about that language.
I find the emerge manpage one of the better manpages around.

Occasionally there is a problem with a new feature. That gets fixed and 
everyone is happily using it. By disabling features you haven't got an 
understanding off and don't even bother to check if it's fixed, you are

learn new things
2) Actually learn how to use a computer
