Yeah I agree with this notion. After working in very high level and expressive language (with static typing) I found that I could get rid of about 90% or even more of my comments. But for the rest, it's exactly as you described. There is usually some workaround/shortcut being taken or there is interfacing with an external dependency that does not work as expected. In those cases comments make aware of things that the code doesn't show and can save a looot of time.
