I guess you miss the point. It's not trying to suggest the perfect code. Only you know it. It's saving you time by writing a good (sometimes perfect) first solution based on method/argument names, context, comments, and inline doc. And that is already a huge boost in productivity and coding pleasure (as you only have to focus on the smart part).

Maybe you are right, in my experience either the code you have easily available to you (either because another person or a computer wrote it) is perfect for your use case (to the best of your knowledge anyway) or rewriting it from scratch is usually better than morphing what you have into what you need.
