Perhaps this is just my luck of the draw, but in the places I've
worked, the people who provided the most yawn-inducing, complex
documentation were that way all the time. Like it was clear to
management that they didn't have a creative bone in their body, so
they were relegated to the dullest of tasks. Again, this could just be
a factor of where I've worked. YMMV.
