Wrong, of course. Now maybe the human concerned was far down some inheritance tree and simply wanted to document misuse of a deliberately limited class but assert()ing would have been too punitive. Or may it was indeed "right form but no substance", but authored by an SWE.

One of the ones I got wrong was there was a comment which said '// end of for loop' after every closing brace of every 'for' loop and I thought that there is no way that a human would ever write such pointless comments... I did manage to get 100% correct after a while but it takes a thorough reading of the code.
