Well what do you think that documentation is for - if not to teach. No
bloody use in writing documentation for an audience that already know
the product, is there? When you write documentation, you always assume
that the reader knows nothing about your product! If that's true, the
reader will thank you! If it's not the reader will scan the document
until he finds something of interest, or leave it alone altogether.
