At least with *no* documentation, the source code stands for itself.  If
I can execute it (whatever that entails), then I can (in theory) figure
out *what* it does.  I still don't what it's *supposed* to do, and
therefore *cannot* know how well it does or doesn't "work,", but at
least source code is deterministic and unambiguous (except when it
isn't, but let's not go there).
