Also, many times the wall is perceived by the tech writer but isn't
actually there.

Developers, tech writers, dog groomers, police, and what have you...
they're all just people. Many times we forget this.

True, but as I've mentioned before, it may be that the very personality
traits that draw some people to writers make them less well suited to
deal with other people.  If I was someone to whom it came naturally to
establish a great rapport with my fellow human being I'd probably have
better luck getting the information I need from the SMEs -- but I also
might have been more likely to gravitate towards a career in public
relations, etc.
