may be we don't disagree: "not only an API client, but with the knowledge to 
dive in the source code" meant that the documentation writer must have a 
*deep* knowledge of the API (which you get not simply by reading its 
specification, but working the API) and *some* knowledge about its 
specification 
(because he may need to know the internals in order to understand how 
something works).
