Fully agree.
I was once on a project where all the original developers suddenly disappeared and it was taken over by a new team. All institutional knowledge had been lost.
We spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out the original design. Introduced quite a few bugs until it was better understood. But also fixed a lot of design issues after a much head bashing.
By the end, it had been mostly rewritten and extended to do things not originally planned.
But the process was painful.
