I haven't looked, but if the manual is neutral on the amount of adds at once why would you couch your statement in such a passive aggressive tone?
Instead of saying, "I don't think you will find anyplace in the documentation that advocates adding 5K books at a whack." try saying, in my experience ... xyz etc...
Many folks on here (including myself) have recently started falling into this type of seemingly condescending or passive aggressive answer without realizing they are putting the person in a defensive mode instead of simply helping the person.
