I can sort of see their point. A program should be clear enough logically so commenting would almost be redundant. However, there are different ways of doing things within the same language- so when someone comes in later with the task of changing the code to do something else, it can be a real son of a bitch to reverse-engineer even simple scripts. So as a courtesy to other professionals in a high-pressure environment, letting others know the rationale right there in the code is a simple and very useful courtesy to your fellow humans.
