I didn't say anything close to that. Please don't put words in my mouth.

You are right in saying that documenting the entire As-Is often takes too long.  The important thing is to document the essential As-Is.  This core essential functionality is generally unchanging.  Businesses generally do not change their essential (i.e, technology independent) functionality.
