This reminds me of a consultant I once worked with.
He had worked on government projects for a decade or more and was a 
staunch supporter of the 'big bang' approach to software development.
I asked him how many of these had been a success ... deafening silence.

His attitude to UML was 'I'd rather cut my right arm off than waste time 
with that new fangled nonsense'

UML works, non technical 'stakeholders' (yuk) can understand it at a 
high level and in my HUMBLE opinion the sequence diagram is the single 
most important piece of documentation in the entire software project
