There speaks somebody who has never spent their evenings wading through terribly project submissions with > 70% comments. The 'why' would be that there's an entire class of newbie developer who write opaque code, and use the comments as an excuse not to write code clearly. I see too many developer with the general attitude 'This code is opaque - it needs a comment', where I vastly prefer 'This code needs a comment, how can I make it less opaque.'.
