I'm tired of seeing this as a reason. Cocoa documentation has not a single
"description forthcoming," and by extension, Google, my site, the other
sites, and the mailing list archives can all be considered "documentation."

So if there's no dearth of documentation or organization, no reason why
anyone shouldn't be able to find the answer to any question they have
without disturbing real developers

You're over-generalizing. No one suggested that no questions should be asked here, nor did anyone suggest that every question asked here can be trivially answered in the available documentation. We're talking about how to reply to the few questions posted here that could (and should) have been easily answered with a small amount of self-help.

As to the dearth/organization of Apple's documentation being a valid reason for such a question - When the question is "How do I get started with a document-based app?" and there's a link titled "Document-Based Applications" on the first page of the Cocoa help in Project Builder, it's a little hard to take seriously the poster's claim that help couldn't be found.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. There might be a law against it by that time.
