Don't trust a datasheet blindly. Always apply common sense and a bit of caution. Especially when it comes to Atmel. In the past 2 years, i've discovered 3 silicon bugs in Atmel chips and two "bugs" in their documentation. Reporting the silicon bugs resulted in being completely ignored and the documentation bugs were answered with (literally) "it's a silicon thing", completely disregarding the fact that following the documentation will cause hard to trace bugs in the software (that's how i discovered them in the first place).
