Do you mean that, whenever we see something presented as an example
within or around the R system, we should not take it as dependable
unless it is explicitly said to be working?

Within the R online help system, many examples are marked so they are
not run. I naively thought they were not run for friendly reasons, like
for example, not inordinately impacting the user's environment. Should
I read you as saying that those examples are not to be believed?
