#Why is requesting documentation better than asking it as a question on Stack Overflow?

Don't get me wrong. I like the idea of that Stackumentation, but as far I understood it, documentation seems to be good when someone asks for it. Writing documentation takes much longer than writing an answer to a question on Stack Overflow. IMHO, most users want a fast answer which solves their problem as soon as possible. What is the advantage for the user to ask for it?

#Will a documentation request get a review or a vote limit before starting documentation?

I can imagine some cases where documentation can be pointless:

• A user don't understand the documentation and asks for a new one.
  I see here two options:

  1. Document it anyway since it might help others
  2. Just help that user with a simple explanation

• A user doesn't find the documentation because she or he uses a blob without documentation.

Possible solutions:

1. We could give hints on how to improve the Google skills to find the documentation
2. Document it just because Stack Overflow has a better search rank than the original documentation or other helpful resources

Both problems might be solvable with a limit before starting the documentation or a review, so that pointless requests won't trigger a creation of a documentation. What do you think about it?
