I haven't seen anyone get confused by a data.base description in a long long

time.  I think it's because the modern data.base contains so many quotes that
have nothing to do with Nethack that nobody tries to use data.base to figure
out how to handle monsters any more.

-Some of the data.base descriptions are either misleading or downright false
-when applied to the NetHack monsters.  (I'd hate to try counting the number of
-times people posted to rec.games.hack mentioning using a mirror on a

 Monsters cannot use AD_STCK or AD_WRAP on other monsters.  The complications
 are too great, and would add little to the game.
