I've rarely heard anyone say this. Do you have an example of an area that is severely lacking in documentation? Maybe I don't use a wide array of modules, but I can't remember the last time as a user I had to dive into the source code.

I know the stdlib lacks examples in a lot of areas, often going for purely API coverage, which is welcome to change.
