*What*, for example, is "the usual meaning" of "file system objects?" A file? Why not just say "file?" And if the documentation really means files or pipes or devices, then why not say "files or pipes or devices?"
I'm only guessing, but it looks to me like the documentation was written by developers with poor writing skills, and approved by other developers who knew what the first ones meant. At no time was anybody consulted who didn't already understand the subject matter completely. One wonders what would happen if somebody would open a bugzilla on the man page claiming that it's impossible to understand, especially if there were a number of comments by other "mere users" complaining about the exact same thing.
