I don't worry much about documentation. If I don't understand my
code it's no big deal, I probably didn't know what I was doing in
the first place. As long as the computer can understand it and get
it right, most of the time, I've done my job.

 
Folks like a security blanket - authority handed down.  Often just
holding and cherishing the documentation, repeating the verses, is
enough.  Throw a curveball and it's like watching Forbidden Planet
where Robby the Robot is presented with contradictory instructions.

Luckily Standard Forth is mostly harmless as nobody takes it seriously.
