I think the docs meant to say you should not do this:

<cfreturn 1>
<cfreturn 2>

This will return 1. The only reason to not do this is because it's a
waste of time. As soon as the first cfreturn is encountered, the method
ends.

However, the code I sent in my other message would make sense... in one
condition return A, in another condition return B.

Some people will do...

<cfset returnCode = "a">
<cfif condition>
        <cfset returnCode = "b">
</cfif>

<cfreturn returnCode>

But that just doesn't make sense to me.
