Why are blender docs and related advice either horrendously outdated or plain wrong?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i check blenderdocs, never ocne, and i do mean never once did it help me, their shown pictures for help are so terribly outdated it doesnt even look remotely like current blender anymore.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)

while i do appreciate a well made text based tutorial, i just cant say that for the blenderdocs in current year. im not joking when i said i never once had the blenderdocs help, not once was i able to find correct info even on the page i wanted to be.

While i thank you, genuinely for help, but just sending me to the docs gives me archwiki ptsd (it may not be wrong, but archwiki is written like you need a fucking linguistic degree soo i end up with basically the same problem)

So if that is still okay with you, i might take you help for help.
