I was astonished. But many technical writers agreed,
saying that policing consistency is the most important
thing they do."

it is very likely that this wasn't though through by the 'many technicla writers'. This is a statement along the lines of "The most important thing for a healthy life is to get enough vitamins." Nonsense - for a healthy life, it is most important to regularly breathe enough oxygen. But this is so basic that it slips below the radar.

Same with these writers: Of course providing accurate information in a timely manner is the most important thing they do. But since this is so fundamental, they don't really think about it any more. (And, to anticipate a possible comment, there are certainly some writers who actually forget what their most important function is.)
