What, pray tell, is the difference between "intentionally inaccurate" and
"suitably vague"?

Suitably vague is when...

You need to describe a process for which the software is not
completely developed and you're not exactly sure how it will
work (i.e., when you're stuck documenting vaporware).

The software developer left the company last month and no one
is quite sure yet how the stuff he left behind works, but the
doc is overdue.
