Thus the hacker refrain, "lies, damned lies, and comments", for which oddly I'm unable to find any examples despite having seen it recited several times over the years. In fact, I believe I came across that rephrasing before learning of Twain's famous original. I always found it a more pithy justification for why source code comments should only explain why, not how or what.
