Firstly, there *is* documentation, its on the illiad. And secondly she has misread the upgrading instructions...

Dude, is it so hard to understand that people may have different interpretations of that sentence? I also say that to friends, that the documentation didn't come with the device. The pdf on the Iliad is a user documentation
past the point where you got it running. There is no documentation
before that point. (And there are other interpretations of "documentation", like hardware layout, SDK API docs, ...) Every person has it's very own perception of what "the" documentation is.
For me (and her, probably), the documentation is what to consult if I can't get it running. And a documentation that is technically limited to be only readable once I don't need it anymore is equivalent to "no" documentation.
Let me just rephrase this, so that everybody gets a chance to understand it: There is no such thing as "facts" in this discussion. Facts don't exist. And while Mrs. Miller Cote did show what her viewpoint and assume type of use is, the people in this forum were talking about "facts" and "factual errors", which is ridiculous.
This ever-repeating point about bricking the device: The way she described the note on bricking the Iliad was very nice. It's an overdramatization of her surprise that the only written documentation talked about breaking it. It's okay how she wrote it, because it's a review and clearly her personal opinion. I suspect people talking about factual errors here are unable to understand rhetoric.
