Why not? You're not going to suggest that the goal is self-expression?

You can argue, of course, that writing a manual that is easy to maintain is working in your employer's interest because that saves money in the long run. However, if your employer needs the documentation in a hurry, then meeting the deadline becomes the priority and an elegant solution secondary.

"And I wouldn't say I couldn't be your lover,
Not if there was nothing else to be,
But if love is what you're dying to discover (darling)
Don't slit your wrists for me."
