At some point Paul promised shed some light in a form of FPV comparison tools docs. It never happened though. I will have to get to this once I am done with the rest. Though I still not sure why this tool causing that much misunderstanding.
The problem, Gennadiy, is that I can not PROVE that it is hard to understand. All I can do is offer my testimony that, as documented, it is difficult FOR ME to understand. If I could tell you how it should be, then I would not need help figuring out how it is now. This is not the first time I have brought up this topic. In fact, I didn't bring it up this time either, I just jumped in after someone else said something about it. The last time I brought it up, you also wanted evidence that it was hard to understand. What further evidence can I offer, aside from the fact that I do not understand how to use that particular API. All I can say is that the current explanation does not make sense, and ask for a different explanation. However, you keep repeating the same explanation. My hope is that, some day, you or someone else may offer a different explanation, and then a light will go on, and I will be mad at myself for being so dumb as to not understand the original explanation. What would help? I don't know... maybe several more concrete examples of how it is supposed to be used, accompanied with some description of exactly why that is a good comparison. I will say this... if it is ever explained in a manner which makes sense to me, I'll provide a "BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE() for Dummies" that you can add to the docs if you like... and it will have the personal witness of a geniune dummy.
