Many people who are good at writing code are not good at writing documentation. 
Writing good explanations is hard, even if you have a knack for it. It's not 
something J. Random Superprogrammer can just automatically do by virtue of his 
enormous brain.

If money is to be spent, it would be better spent on people other than the 
developers, people who *don't* know the project (because the troubles they have 
learning it will inform their documentation), are quick studies, and are 
skilled explainers.
