It is either a part of the *official* gentoo documentation, or it isn't.

My understanding is that it is. Is that incorrect?

In other words, it is not $random_guide found on the internet somewhere,
nor is it some gentoo dev's private wiki, it is formal, official gentoo
documentation - and that *is* a fact.

If what you say is true, then I guess every single page of every single
bit of gentoo documentation should come with a big fat warning that
'this is just someone's personal opinion, so don't give it any weight
whatsoever - hey, just do your own thang!'...
