Does this mean I'm screwed?

while studying the config files of the system i'm trying to learn, i came across this very interesting config file for the database :
(some words are omitted... it's an awfully long comment for one config flag... )

#STRONGLY DISRECOMMENDED
#Setting this flag to true may lead to subtle
#and bizarre bugs.......
#......... This is a terrible setting......
#...supports transactions "partially" (this is oxymoronic,
#as the whole point of transactions is to perform operations
#reliably and completely, but nonetheless such
#database are out there) .....
#........ ..... //some really long explanation why it's bad
#...............................................
#..... otherwise, setting this to true is just a BAD idea
#
#flag=false
flag=
true

need I say more? :)
