Why? Why is it that automatically, anyone can make the determination
that however much documentation you have, less is better.
How about "better is better"? Better may be less, it may be more, it
may be different.
I HATE blanket statements that are supposed to sound intelligent and
be applied across the board without knowing what they are being
applied against.
