I've thought this...the problem is that in the beginning, you don't
know much about what you are documenting. You may not realize it, but
as you write most stuff incorrectly, you are also learning it. You'd
spin in circles and not get much more done. Its only after you are
involved with what you are documenting for awhile do you have enough
tire to burn the rubber.
