Since documentation differs from programs, it can have different restrictions, which programs are not able to pass.

OK. Any in mind?

So, being just Turing-complete can't serve as a criterion.

Then what can?

BTW: Older versions of Mac OS (or just "System 7" --- maybe even back with System 6 --- at the time) shipped with an icon[0] that when double clicked gave instructions and practice using the mouse. It had, as well as instruction on the proper way to hold the mouse, etc., various interactive activities. Was this thing a computer program, or was it documentation? Or both?


[0] I'm using the word to avoid biasing the question one way or the other.
