A software without perfect documentation is worthless.

Without documentation, you have to assume things. Does the train, if the signal is broken, stop or continue running? Does the radiation treatment machine, if you have a race condition, and two commands are executed at the same time, block, or just execute the last command?

Software without documentation kills.
