Well, personally, I don't really regard Moore's works to be documentaries. (I guess I also want to lump Super Size Me in there) I view them to be more of a "cinematic essay" than a documentary. He goes into his story having something to say. Everything he presents is used as evidence for his point. More traditional documentaries merely follow a sequence of events that lead up to something or chronicle an event. They tend to present both sides of an argument. Last week, I saw something on the Science Channel where, after presenting each of their arguments, they alternated between scenes with two scientists calling each other quacks that are completely wrong.
Removing too much of the challenge removes too much of the accomplishment when you solve the problem. Removing too much of the challenge removes too much of the innovation in the solutions... removing too much of the challenge removes too much of the fun.
