The paradigm here is: Package A is unusable because of its documentation. Better write package B which is usable. The problem with this is that often package B is unusable for the same reason. But the reasons this is attractive: I can't write the documentation without knowing what it does. If I can write the documenntation, often the process of reporting clearly what package A does reveals that its design is terrible. and it would be easier to rewrite it to match reasonable documentation than to document all its barnacles.
