See Karen Shriver's Dynamics in Document design. She has studies. Small
groups but not unreasonable to extrapolate to the population as a whole.
I am not too awake yet so I am not going to try to quote the studies but she
has them and they are good.

| hi there,

| useful documentation is an important (crucial even?) component of a
quality
| product? my plaintive cries of "redesign rather than reinforce bad
