I'm not sure I'd go as far as irrelevant - rather, I would say that documentation is what you do to keep other people from needing the principle of charity. They're two directions on solving the same problem. As a maintainer you should assume good intentions, but as a creator you should work to clarify your intent.

Agreed, but irrelevant to this particular conversation, which is about how to handle a "fence" in the road where there is no obvious reason evident.
