That's why Open Source is great and code comments are useless!

Great as usual! What about changing the last sentence to "In code we trust"?

a typo? shouldn't it say "what do you think [it could] do?"

Actually, that's fairly typical of software written with poor understanding of the separation of concern concept.
I've step-through code as simple as "getId( )" and found that not only does it gets the ID, it makes a remote call to an external library, configures something in the system, instantiates a bunch of objects (some of them legacy and useless) before pasting all these into the registry.
And it's called "getID( )".

No shit sherlock. Never believe the comments. At best they will be out of date.
