Hydro disc brakes on bicycles are self-adjusting, they do that themselves by their design, so the cyclist doesn't have to do it. This is what I think self-something should mean, you don't do it as a user or operator, the thing does it for you, by and to itself. Self-learning AI algorithm. And so on. It learns to play checkers by playing it one zillion times against another instance of itself. And so forth. Emacs maybe provide certain things to do documentation and that's great but it doesn't do the documentation. So it is misleading (or even untrue) IMO. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
