Best plan in my opinion is to download and test on a temporary install and remove if you don't like it.
Thanks Kobus
That precisely what I do. I just fear sometimes I'm tossing out the baby with the bath water as I may be overlooking some part of the functionality or application creativity.
A general limitation of contributed modules is that a LOT of developers aren't good at or aren't interested in documentation. Many modules are put up out of an obligation to share code with the community. The module was created to solve a problem, and so there was a return for the investment. But the time and effort to properly document a module is more difficult to come up with, so relatively few contrib modules are really documented meaningfully.
There are quite a few modules documented in http://drupal.org/handbook/modules though -- and many of these give decent examples of use.
