It's a rough estimate, but it has the advantage of not requiring code changes. Adding special comments all over the place is going to be a lot of work, maintaining them properly will be even more work (and most likely won't happen on most functions), and despite all that extra work the final stats will be just about as meaningless.
With one exception: knowing that something is complete as far as documentation allows us to know is rather important. This is a fairly immutable point in the development of a function, and having reliable information about that is golden. Otherwise, one spends a lot of time just figuring out if something is supposed to work but doesn't, or it's simply an unimplemented aspect that need love.
So yeah, we don't need to add "STUBBED" or "INCOMPLETE" all over the place. But as people working with that code know (by the nature of their work) that something is DONE, we should mark it as such.
