If you fill the screen (or logfile) with false-positves it can make it
very difficult
to find the few true-positives (especially for newbies). Without
detailed and accurate documentation it is very hard to tweak the tool
to get useful information from it
(especially for newbies that can't find the documentation ;-)

P.S. This is where open-source and ASCII files do help. If you really
need to tweak
the tool you can.
