Why are blender docs and related advice either horrendously outdated or plain wrong?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check blenderdocs, never ocne, and i do mean never once did it help me, their shown pictures for help are so terribly outdated it doesnt even look remotely like current blender anymore.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

I’ve been teaching myself blender for the past several months so I feel your pain

You just gotta push past the frustration til you hit a point where things start feeling comfortable

Tbh once I started understanding more 3d workflow/concepts in general, blender became easier to reason with

Been at it for over a year, never has been easier or more understandable for me
