OK, let's put it in a different way.

There is a library written by me called XYZ, but I do not claim anything about reliability etc. And there are many others out there also doing XYZ. Which one would you chose? I guess the one with the optimal documentation, but definitely not mine; and you will test it, wouldn't you?
