I was a bit harsh, perhaps.  However, the gist of what I tried to say,
remains:

#1: documentation is difficult, and under appreciated where it counts
    (i.e. formally, it tends to count as icing, not cake).

#2: collaborative production of documentation can be fast.

#3: in the right circumstances, imperfect documentation can be an
    impetus for getting better documentation written (usually as a
    result of fixing the imperfect version).

best,
-tony
