The real world case I remember also included a TODO to return and fix the code later. In a published scientific software. I wonder how many paper were messed up by this buggy software. As I looked at the code due to the amount of bugs I encountered.

It's been many years from publication, and to the surprise of no one, they did not return to fix it.
