Yes, that's right. Mentioning this everywhere it applies would be good.
The documentation can repeat itself, that's fine, as long as it is accurate.
This also allows us to judge how good our UI consistency actually is.

Ye, this is inconsistent, unfortunately.
In this case I would say we should fix got to match tog, for now, to
conform to the "no implicit dot" rule.
'got tree' was written very early on and I made up new rules as development
progressed. And I didn't go back to fix everything.

It's great that you're pointing these inconsistencies out because they
do really need to be fixed. I don't actually care which way.
We just need to decide on a convention and apply it consistently.
Would you prefer an implicit dot to apply everywhere?
