I've seen functions called getValue() that were actually creating files on disk and writing stuff.

Also, even if the function actually does what advertised, I've seen functions that go 4-5 levels deep where the outer functions are just abstracting optional parameters. So to avoid exposing 3 or 4 parameters, tens of functions are created instead.

I think you do have a point but ideas get abused a lot.
