Well noted. But the manual needs some modification as well 
(suppressing "full"):

4.1 Finding More Information:

If you are interested, you can get the full documentation of any 
Emacs Lisp function at any time by typing C-h f and then the name 
of the function (and then RET). Similarly, you can get the full 
documentation for a variable by typing C-h v and then the name of 
the variable (and then RET).
