I can't imagine any situation where it would be acceptable. I have personally wasted hundreds of hours over the course of my career due to incorrect documentation. There are millions of programmers in the world. Incorrect documentation has surely caused hundreds of millions of hours of wasted labor, or tens of billions of dollars of economic damage. That's just the damage of wasted development time, not the harm buggy software causes users.
