That's fine if you never upgrade, but code is subject to incompatible
changes.  You don't know which features the developers consider
fundamental and which are accidental.  Documentation is essentially a
contract between the developer and the user, saying this is the
recommended usage, and this API will not change without good reason and
upgrade advice.  Comments in the code could serve the same purpose, but
in practice they usually don't.  Documentation also serves to integrate
modules and show how they work together.
