The idea that a Theory of the Program cannot be conveyed from one programmer to another but other means that apprenticeship seems to fit quite well with the experience of most programmers. While "program text and documentation" might not be enough, it would be interesting to understand what kind of documentation best supports Theory Building for new programmers coming into an existing project. It is my understanding the Literate Programming is thought by its proponents to be superior to traditional code/documentation in this regard.
