MPT, *please* give us some positive feedback.
Ted Felix and Matthew Revell have made some valid points.
I have asked some genuine questions:

o When I do not understand something, where [in the UI] do I look for help?
  If there is no place, please confirm this issue.

o Do you have context-related help available? If so, how do I find it?

MPT, you wrote:

True.  That should be the goal, and it actually works - most of the time.
However, there are valid reasons to look for documentation, even for a well-designed UI.
For example, when I encounter an apparent issue, before reporting the issue I want to read documentation,
to confirm that I understood correctly how it should have worked and that it actually is an open issue.

Even with a well-designed UI, there can always be users "on the wrong track", at least occasionally so, myself included.
A link to documentation can help them to get back on track more effectively.
