Yes, if your "compiler" translates "assembly with comments" to "assembly without comments," then your metaphor is apt. Update: After reconsidering, I take it back. Introns are important, especially intron boundaries. So, my new assertion: so long as your "compiler" translates "assembly with comments" into "assembly with the same comments intact," then I agree that your metaphor is apt.
