How much educating do your 'clients' need?

I'm just curious how often others of you have run into this scenario.

It would seem obvious that most products -- software products anyway -- require
some kind of manual. Yet I'm always amazed at how often first-time product
managers will come to us, mid-way through development or even later, and ask
"How fast can I get a manual written?" It has happened to me four or five times
now, and invariably when I explain what is involved in writing and producing a
manual they are dumbfounded. And we end up starting a whole educational cycle
all over again.

Have others been through this? Do I just work with particularly dull-witted
p-ms?

Thanks,
