  The technical document has to be correct in all aspects. But
 isn't it understood? Can this ever be a debatable point? Wasn't this the first
thing that is told to each and every writer.

  It is easy to tell a TW to be correct, but, if that is as far as it goes, it is nothing.   Being correct means having performed a rigorous analysis.   Such analysis is based on identifying the essential tasks to be performed and, most importantly, the interrelationships between the tasks.   Unfortunately, nobody within the TW community - either in academia or industry - has discussed this.  So incorrect documentation is pretty much gauranteed.
