I'm a fan of the maxim that if the code and documentation disagree, then they are both wrong.

Likewise, having worked in places where I was explicitly instructed that if they disagreed, they were both right (yes, really: they contradicted each other, and disobeying the docs would cost money, so *obviously* we had to obey the docs: but changing the existing not-as-documented behaviour was out of the question! sigh.)
