How else are we to find out what REALLY goes in the documentation? I thought making up crazy stuff and giving it to the engineer to correct was SOP?
I'll give the author of the article credit, what she's describing really is most likely an entry-level technical writer position. You don't know much, you write simple things, you learn more over time and work your way up to the "crazy ass" stuff.
