I wouldn't quite agree with that conclusion. Yes, if a function outputs something, it should be declared to return void. But if a function returns void, there's absolutely no reason that it has to (or even should) output stuff. Most "action" methods behave this way; things like updateUserPassword, or postContentObject, etc. Nothing to return, nothing to output, and if something goes wrong, the method will tell you via an exception.
