More does not always equal better. I find the Documentation to have an appropriate number of well chosen examples for most commands. If there were say 10 times as many examples, it would be a lot more difficult to find what I'm looking for. Imagine having to wade through say 1160 examples on the page for Plot, instead of 116. It would be completely overwhelming and far less helpful. -- Helen Read University of Vermont
