Well, my opinion is: I would prefer to have a hint that something is 
wrong in the documentation instead of letting me believe it is correct 
if it's not. It's a kind of "watch out" which lets me have a closer look 
when things do not work as expected. If you don't want this in the 
documentation then *correct* it instead of reverting back to faulty 
documentation.

That's the problem: If someone knows that it cannot be as documented it 
does not automatically mean that he knows how it would be correct. Still 
I would prefer to be informed about a documentation error instead of 
letting me believe wrong things.

I don't think so. It may be not very elegant. But you made it worse 
again. Why didn't you take the hint and correct the documenation? That 
would have been a real improvement.

If you don't know this how should others know it?
