I'll go with the majority. If you want to write it up, do it, but it probably won't add much value. You control documents to keep people from (accidently, or on purpose) making changes that will affect the process. It is pretty hard to make a change to an owner's manual without being able to spot it, after all, isn't it obvious if you cross something out and write over it? If it is something you can pull off a website any ol' time, it is not controlled at the source, so why would you control it? (i.e. the specs you were talking about...just say we go to the web and look it up.)
The fact that you worked in a company of 5,000 means absolutely nothing. Control is control, 1, 5, 10 or 10,000. The fact that the company chose to do what it did does not mean that it is the only way things can be done. Quality systems have evolved since the first ISO systems were put into place.
Insanity is not doing the same things over and over, it is doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result (improvement within the system).
