As someone who's never read a manual for anything I owned in my entire life I find this fascinating.

Is there anything I'm missing out on, and if I wouldn't read manuals cover-to-cover, what parts would you recommend reading?

Also, assuming many are like me, do you find a lot of quality issues or inconsistencies in documentation just because it's a "tick-in-the-box" exercise to provide a documentation and maybe an overlooked part of the product development?

Thank you!
