A comment on The Elephant at WWDC. Parent comment
It's hard to write good documentation without being able to visualize:
- What they know
- What they don't know
- What they're probably trying to accomplish
Some of the best API documentation comes in the form of examples, which doesn't draw much on writing skills.
That said, explaining high-level concepts/theory does require writing skills, but it also requires the skills described above.
