Read an amazon 6 pager... then try to write one, about anything. and then invite all of your co-workers to pick apart every single line of your document.
Correct. Be careful about sharing a document in progress, notes, or just simple thoughts in text. People will pick it apart word by word. Why? It is the culture Amazon created. Sometimes it helps. Sometimes it's a waste of everyone's time.
If you are writing for reviews, you are not writing for your peers. The question is: who will be using the documents?
