  • Modularity. Part of it is defining a proper Interface for using the hidden complexity.

    Exceptions are only one example. Functions can have behavior, inner states, prior calling requirements etc… you cannot read from its mere prototype.

    Chances are that if documentation exists, it’s no longer up to date.

    This risk also applies to descriptive function names. They can be poor, wrong or outdated, too.
