   Both can be considered to be true: The one one tells you the command exists   
   and what the setting it gouverns its *ment* for, the other one tells you the   
   setting is ignored. :-)   
      
   But yes, I would, from the larger description, also assume that the setting   
   would have its described effect.  I would call it "lying by omission",   
   though that would not hold in court, as both pieces are clearly available   
   (as you've shown). :-\   
      
   There remains a question though: does the OS now never, or always check if a   
   write-action has succeeded (rather important when writing to a medium like a   
   floppy).
