    @gnat, what does this have to do with Liskov Substitution Principle? I don't see any mention of inheritance in the question at all! Commented Apr 19, 2016 at 8:11

    @gnat That's not my question. I'm not asking about the ramifications of violating the Liskov Substitution Principle, I'm not worried about the Liskov Substitution Principle in the slightest. I'm asking, if you have a complicated solution with easy documentation, and an easy solution with complicated documentation, which do you choose. Does my new example not make sense?
