You're right.

With cases of genuine oversight or a bit of doc-rot, I tend to help
where I can.  However issues such as these where documentation has
been either severely neglected or half-arsed require either the author
or another knowledgeable person so provide fix-ups in the way of
additional quality descriptions.

IMHO, we wouldn't want to foster the impression that it's okay to
provide a non-determined effort, safe in the knowledge that someone
will come along later and finish the job for them at a later date.
