If that's worked for you, I won't attempt to argue with success. My
objective, however, is to identify candidates who, by virtue of their
past experience and current expertise, can accurately predict the level
of knowledge *and* the level of ignorance (what they know and what they
don't know but need to find out) of users at all expected levels from
below-average to expert, and create documentation that will enable users
at each level of knowledge to find the information they need without
having to wade through material not suited for their needs. I don't
think there is a "right level of ignorance" for that.
