Code says what it does but not why and there's where documentation is invaluable. Because the next time the code should be modified to solve some nasty bug or implement compatibility with a new component or redesign its behaviour it is of paramount importance to know why things are like they are, what prompted the choice of a certain class hierarchy instead of a seemingly better one, why (if there is a reason) some methods are called in a certain order and so on.
