There is virtually no evidence that program documentation leads to "better" programs. In fact, there are many people that will maintain that the need for code documentation is evidence of a "bad" program.

Regardless of whether you subscribe to this theory or the opposite, there is no "objective" way to differentiate between these 2 spectrums.

No evidence? No evidence for a _definition_?

I am telling you what a good definition of a good program is. Of course there is no evidence that my definition is the same as your (unstated) definition. You can disagree, but this has nothing to do with evidence.
