Maybe it can be translated into something else, like, "Documentation is like toilet paper, when it's good it's good, when it's bad it's better than nothing"? Or, "Documentation is like clothes, even if they are bad it's better than nothing", or "Documentation is like having something you need, it's better to have the thing you need even if is not good, than to not have the thing you need at all"?

I like the analogy with toilet paper. Because when its bad, the very thing that was supposed to help you, got you covered in shit with no back out plan, making it that much worse.

Very fitting
