> nobody thinks about what it means anymore, it just "seems true"

I think about what it means constantly because every single day, I spend hours digging through documentation about the .NET framework instead of just following a call stack or reading code. It's excruciating.

Do I know exactly where to draw a hard, absolute line between "too implicit" and "too explicit"? No. But I definitely feel the pain of "too implicit" when it's happening to me.
