That sentence doesn't strike me as endorsing knowledge hiding, so much as not wanting to maintain a duplicate (and likely outdated) description of the tested functionality beyond that embodied in the source code. A quick look at the xterm ctlseqs document will typically provide enough information to fix a vttest failure.

Thanks for pointing out the ctlseqs.txt document:

If I ever knew about it, I'd forgotten. I think it's interesting that all of the tektronix and vt52 stuff is only the last 6% or so of this long file.
