I think there's a difference between bad and wrong. Wrong documentation is incorrect. Bad documentation isn't really incorrect, it's just poorly executedb and mostly unhelpful.

Wrong documentation is still a pretty big problem, even without the gaslighting. Incomplete documentation is better than none; incorrect documentation is not.
