I know, and I try not to do that. FWIW, I generally agree with MM's stance on some issues. But I don't think he does documentaries.
Maybe someone can clear up the definition, but my understanding is that a "pure" documentary records and presents events without interfering in them. MM strays from this by actually influencing, staging or organizing many events he's presenting.
