Yep. I don't disagree with either of you. I was really responding to the comment that your comments should form a kind of running commentary of the code (something which I completely bought into when I was younger, but then moved away from). There are certain things you can't express with code. I don't want to suggest that you stubbornly refuse to express it at all in those cases :-). It's just that it's a technique of last resort, not a technique of first resort (if that makes any sense).
