The GP's point still stands. Just because the comment offers an explanation doesn't mean it's right.

- Azkar 11y agoI feel like there is a big difference between "right" and practical. The world isn't black and white, the authors clearly have had problems when the comment was removed, so it's probably better to just keep it there. I personally hate when commented out code are checked in to source, but put in a situation where the "right" thing increases the likelihood human error, I'll pick the "wrong" way every time.
- aaronbrethorst 11y agoHow about a smaller comment that says something like: /* Here's the deal...Check out what this used to look like at http://example.com. */
