Strictly speaking, that is not true; there is *NO* error:
The documentation never explicitly says what happens with USE.NAMES=FALSE,
whereas it clearly and correctly specifies the effect of USE.NAMES=TRUE,
and everything it says is correct (and as mentioned initially,
it notably indirectly specifies that sapply(*, USE.NAMES=FALSE)
would *not* remove existing names.

This reminds me slightly of fortunes::fortune(313). :-)
cheers,
