Thanks, that clarifies it.

Don't agree with you there, either that out-of-date/incorrect comments  
in the code are necessarily "trivial" to someone learning that code, or 
that the responses made here were of excessive length. 

Obviously someone who knew the answer for sure/noticed the typo and
who had write access would just commit the change without writing here.
A new developer does not have those rights.
