Using MSO as an example, I've noticed that the more expensive the
template, the more likely the only documentation is simply a list of
material produced by other people and organizations.

The prime example is those US$100,000 templates for MSO, where the
documentation is a single letter size sheet, listing the primary
reference texts in the field that the template is to be used in.

Within the template, the only "instructions", are hints provided by the
background colour of the various cells. Medium Red: Do not touch; Pale
Green: Change this value; Pale Yellow: Enter value here;
I've forgotten the rest of the background colour conventions.

The users of those templates seem to think that further documentation is
superfluous --- to the point that the support list is only for reporting
bugs.
