It's less crazy but more error prone. 3rd-party documentation has a tendency of being wrong and out of date quickly. It's not bad but it always needs to be taken with a grain of salt unless you really trust the maintainers of the docs.
That would be a very good point if this was documenting javascript frameworks, but I doubt the usages of "tar" and "find" change too often.
