Documentation that has been obsessively {dumbed down}, to the point where only a {cretin} could bear to read it, is said to have succumbed to the "drool-proof paper syndrome" or to have been "written on drool-proof paper". For example, this is an actual quote from Apple Computer' s LaserWriter manual: "Do not expose your LaserWriter to open fIRe or flame." [Jargon File] (1997-06-23)
