Having to copy back the data that is already there on your disc, without
any hint
about that, is non-intuitive.
Calling the user stupid does not change that fact.
I personally use gobs of software without reading the documentation.
Heck, most SW doesn't even have something that deserves the name
"documentation".
But calling users stupid is so cool, isn't it ?
