This attitude risks thrashing update/retraction. Seeing a piece of code going by and thinking "That can't be right!" either means the code is bad, or you don't understand the context. Jumping to a 'fix' is a quick way to screw up a complex project.
Now, if its code in your bailiwick, and a junior programmer messed up, sure go ahead. But even then, they may know something you don't know.
How about: flag it, record your concern in the bug/issues database, and schedule review of the item.
Sure, I should have expressed myself better - I added a clarifying paragraph about that.
