Why are blender docs and related advice either horrendously outdated or plain wrong? (sh.itjust.works)

No matter how often i check blenderdocs, never ocne, and i do mean never once did it help me, their shown pictures for help are so terribly outdated it doesnt even look remotely like current blender anymore.

And when im lucky enough to find something i actually need, the advice is just plainwrong (most recently the knife tool and cut-through, literally wrong information)

Hey man just a heads up - I'm not 100% on the blender docs themselves but generally for open source you're able to contribute and fix issues if you spot them and help out your fellow blender users. Could be worth looking in to if you feel strongly about this and aware where they need fixing :D

The amount of fixing blenderdocs and general advice needs far outweights must willingness, patience hell, even ability to do so

I generally don't get much if any satisfaction from such contributions anyway, if once in a bluemoon it isnt rejected that is

Add the fact that it’s not a paid job and you have the answer to your question.

It's not a paid product either.
