Not really a general counterpoint, but I do think that if documentation is concise and useful enough so that stakeholders keep it up to date, it can work. For example, I maintain a document that helps me keep track of bioinformatics files and some of their quirks (which files have two-line headers, etc). I do it for myself, but this information is also referred to by dozens of people in our group.
