Well, I didn't go tearing-down the engine and transmission in my car, 
but I still learned how to drive it :)

I agree that if one really, Really, REALLY wants to know not just how 
something works, but why it works that way, source code is best.  Still, 
that hasn't meant that I was or continue to be able to just tell people 
asking about netperf to read the source, I still either explain things 
to them, or make sure I ammend the manual.
