Technical writers are not technical authors. This indictment of technical
writers for not being technical authors is therefore at its root logically
unsound.

Everybody's seen bad documentation. In my experience, what made the
documentation bad was not the technical content being inaccurate. It was the
ineptitude of the writer.
