I didn't see anything about the hiring process needed to get high-documentation culture to work. Many developers don't write well. Some don't empathize with the reader and so can't communicate complex ideas effectively. Others lack the ability to abstract their ideas. Many will be coming from the exact opposite of a high-documentation culture and so simply will not value good documentation.

Asking people with poor writing skills to work in the way described here seems like it could lead to problems without a selection process favoring good writers, or at least a training system to get new hires up to speed.
