Earlier in this thread the OP said something about how it seemed that the
hiree was overqualified perhaps but that the boss wanted him anyway. This
New York Times Online article describes this 'overqualified' situation
pretty well it sseems.

By the time a piece of heavy equipment is available for viewing or use at a
rental yard, its documentation had better already have been written, tested
and published.  Unless the docs person is just a "glorified secretary" who
is being spoon fed input by SMEs who are doing all the verification after
the font fondling has been done, there is just no replacement for actually
being there.

guy in this job needs to get hands on a particular model to write about it,
have him go to the nearest rental yard.
