Why are blender docs and related advice either horrendously outdated or plain wrong?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i check blenderdocs, never ocne, and i do mean never once did it help me, their shown pictures for help are so terribly outdated it doesnt even look remotely like current blender anymore.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 downloaded the latest version from blender itself, but I get you

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing: The problem that I'm describing is that you'll sometimes accidentally find old docs, e.g. docs for version 2.73 when your program version is 3.6 (or whatever the newest is). Not so much that you're using an old version of the Blender program.
