The data "sheet" for the new processor I'm using is ~16,000 pages.

This is getting ridiculous.  I thought 2,000 page datasheets were over
the top, but this one is a personal record!  <frown>

 
On the other hand, data sheet quality is generally going down.

Not just datasheets, but app notes and textbooks as well. They were all
far, far clearer and better-written decades ago compared with today. I
suspect it's perhaps due to the schools not teaching formal English
grammar any more.
