Re: Smarter person than me - shifted slightly

I agree with Bruce -- a terrible writer can be a great storyteller (e.g., 
James Michener). So, the story's very good, the reader was involved with the 
characters and plot, but the writing stank.

However, a well-written user guide or technical document can still be 
incomprehensible or wrong, and following it can cause all kinds of problems, 
unlike a paperback novel.

The best the contractor can do is show the draft to the clients in time for 
them to realise the error of their ways.

And I gotta put this in: "Revengineering" -- Kim, you kill me, you really 
do!
