I have personally done it to fend on a project manager or two or to make sure that I don't misunderstand anything with a deadline someone is hounding me for.

For some reason "I am meeting with X to address it" sounds better than "I am reading Y to address it." Not sure why. Just something I have noticed.

So in my case it is office politics.

Reading documentation/writing documentation is not considered quite as productive work.

Wait, what? I always found reading documentation to be one of the more productive uses of my time.

You, yes. But do your superiors think the same? Usually it goes - "well, read if you must, but better do some real work". Unfortunately.

What you or I think it not relevant. It is what the person who signs my paycheque thinks.
