Yep, I hear yah.
Once got "Wow, this looks like an _acutal manual_!"
Ah... nope. It's a totally imaginary one. :-)
Of course, it depends on the past experience of the
person making the comment - and their tone of voice,
too. The person who said the above later showed me
a previous writer's work that didn't look at all
like an _actual manual_. :-)

How about demeaning comments? When I finished my first SDK, the development
team commented, "Wow, this looks really professional!"
Like I would write something unprofessional?
