Agree completely, that's why I said "probably" :)

EDIT: Comments are useful for explaining things like:

1. Non-obvious side effects

2. Code that's working around a bug in a 3rd party library

3. Code that calls into some non-intuitive 3rd party API

4. Citing your work (e.g. "adapted from stackoverflow.com/blah123")

5. Why you used pattern A instead of the more standard pattern B
