    In this case, a 141 page highly dense (and frankly 
    boring to read) document is in its essence a liability

So, do you think that the intent was for developers to memorize this document?

Or do you think the expectation was something more reasonable, like using this document as a tool to configure linting tools so that developers could get realtime feedback as they code?

No, that is not what I mean. The efficiency of a piece of knowledge is not only a function of its intrinsic value, but also how easy it is to understand. Sure, the people who are expected to read the document are smart and this is probably the best way to do it, but even Lockheed engineers are fallible.

If anything, the enemy will be defeated before they have had the time to understand the document in case it gets leaked xD
