I agree absolutely. Trying to use a complex entity as 
Lazarus+FPC+LCL+packages without extensive documentation it's a 
delusion, and this should be obvious to every programmer in the world 
nowadays.

Either the guys in Lazarus team plans to take advantage of the original 
Embarcadero helpfiles by compatibility virtue or plainly just does not 
give a thing for doc'ing how everything works :-(
It's a huge mistake.
