If code/comments are out of sync it is likely that someone changed the code and forgot to update comments (which is possible to verify using VCS logs) or it may be that the comment stated the intention right but the code has a bug. Code+comments like a parity check to me - if they agree it is good, if not - I have to investigate if the comment or the code is correct.
