Alright. But that should hold for every peace of documentation. Under 
this argument one can use names without any meaning or that language 
from "1984".

I think Walters faible for avoiding negations released this option 
under the name "-release" to the public.

But from formal languages one should know, that some language 
categories are not closed under complement. Therefore trying to avoid 
generic complements by always using a positive description might turn 
out to be hard to understand, because that positive descriptuion might 
fall into a language category with higher computational needs.
