Definition of Tech Writer, was STC is broken

[Gene Kim-Eng]

I missed this part.  Are you saying that business writers
are making all the decisions that are documented in what
they write and there are no corporate executives
reviewing and signing off on them to ensure that what
they say accurately reflects the decisions the company's
executive management has made?  If that's true, then the
stockholders will be going directly for the writers when
they sue over ficuciary responsiblities and wow, business
writing is *way* higher risk indeed.
