The problem is, that I don't *know* how it is supposed to be.
If I knew it, I would not need a documentation.
So it's a vicious circle.
Actually, the programmer(s) who implement things need to
add (at least a fundamental) documentation of how it *should* work.

Even when looking into the code I would never know about
the intention of the original coders. He could have made mistakes
and I would document bugs as the desired behaviour (not to talk
about the much higher effort of someone else trying to find out
about foreign code which he was never involved in).
That's a bit like giving the code of Linux or Windows to someone
who uses it and saying: You can find out how it works by viewing the code.
In theory it should be possible if you have some additional lifes available.
