Fair point.

But I would actually say that what level of documentation is needed
depends far more on what the software is supposed to do than on whether
it's well-written or not.  A compiler needs far more documentation than
an RPG videogame, even if they take the same amount of code (by
whatever metric you want to use).

Depending on what you mean.  I care about well-written code even if I'm
interacting with it as a user rather than as a programmer.
