if you do not understand the code then you really should not be trying to use it


That depends on what the code is! Most of us use code all the time that we don't understand - in the .net framework. And it truly would be a waste of time to study every implementation detail (most of which are undocumented!) of the primitive types before permitting oneself to use them. I do not know the exact representation of System.Decimal nor what bit-level manipulation it performs to carry out a multiplication, but it would be ridiculous to claim I shouldn't use decimals for that reason.

Also, even code that was not written with the intent of becoming a library (though most code should be written that way imo!) can still be of good quality and of great utility. Trying to use it is sometimes the most effective way to learn about it, whether it's good or bad code, especially if one does not have access to documentation.
