But that's sort of the author's job: if they wish to publish an article on a topic, they should make it both comprehensive and comprehensible.

but I cannot hold authors that I've never met accountable, and it is not a job, when you do it in your blog. it is utter nonsense to call writing personal notes in public a job. it is as much a job (and bears similiar responsibility) as is the opensource work, and we've had hundreds of discussions reg. how the author should not be responsible for shortcomings of his public work, when it is done without contract or other formal agreement to do it (even for free).
work != job
so really, what are you talking about? I'm discussing the means to expound on given knowledge - limited, or oversaturated - and you are changing the topic to "is the author responsible for work done in his spare time".
lets focus, people.
