May I ask everyone a question. What is more important, having the content of a manual written well or having the content of a manual technically accurate, and no they are not mutually exclusive :-)
Please may I ask that you just pick one or the other, I know that we can list a myriad or reasons why each is important and at times mandatory, I am just asking everyone to decide and pick one.
I am fortunate enough to have been on both sides of the fence. I was a Product Support Engineer for years working on Ion Implanters trying to use the manuals available and now I am the Writer of those manuals.
If this has been asked before, please accept my apologies and point me to where the answer is stored. I really appreciate your help Everyone, thank you.
