To be fair what is "obvious" to you may not be obvious to others.
Most of the books, tutorials, and websites I have referenced
since I have begun using Ada (2 years) do not spell out
any method for finding information.  They just present the
information.  In books and tutorials The RM is typically
mentioned in passing, as the justification for some piece
of syntax.  It took me a long time before I realized the
value of the RM for finding information.

Also, if you go to the AdaPower website, CLA is first on the
list of Ada reference materials.
