I disagree with this statement.  IMHO documentation shall help to 
understand the code and therefore need to reduce the complexity by 
abstracting things (I can't express it better).  Just the code is always as 
easy or as difficult to understand as, well, the code.

However, often, I don't care about the interna, I just what to know how to 
use a method.  Even worse, looking at the code might let me use some 
internal facts that the author never wanted to publish as they're subject 
to change.

So looking at the code is a good way to work if you don't have good 
documentation but eventually I always refer documentation to digging 
through method sources.

Sorry for this rant :-)
