Why? A good design document is like gold in the dev world, Normally we end up with about a 1/4 of a design and a floating target. Anyone willing to lay out the plan should be commended, not told not to do it.

1. If you actually need 250 pages to describe your idea, you don't have an idea.
2. If you're trying to just write out every single aspect of your story/level design/whatever, there's no real need to do that.
3. Every second you spend working on your monolithic game design document is a second you're not actually working on your game.
