People who read documentation do this only in order to avoid reading
documentation, anyway?  This must be about the most stupid argument to
refrain from augmenting documentation I have heard in a long time.

It may well be possible that some of the proposed additions don't have
a good place in the document.  I have not checked so myself.  But the
above criticism is not constructive for documentation writers since
its logical conclusion would boil down to "don't bother writing any
documentation".
