I've done some commercial software SDKs and this strikes me as the least surprising thing in the world. MOST programmers will copy and paste example code into production applications without really thinking about how well it fits into what they're doing.

The takeaway is similar to the article: think very, VERY hard about your examples and sample code. It doesn't just have to be correct and demonstrate the features, it also needs to be fairly robust so that customers don't hurt themselves with it.
