Value added (or lost) by technical communication?

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Steven Jong wondered: <<I am helping with a presentation on the value  
of technical communication. What are your favorite anecdotes about  
the bottom-line value added by having techcommers on a project (cost,  
revenue, time), or conversely the value lost by NOT having them?>>

Also a couple useful data points in addenda to my book on onscreen  
editing (and in chapter 16 of the book itself):
