Yeah, I am just providing one contrived example. The cost benefit analysis won't always be so obvious as that in reality. My point was that if you're not using a blend of both comments and code semantics to explain your code, then you're leaving explanatory power on the table. It's unlikely that you're explaining the code in the most efficient manner if you're not using all the explanatory power you have available.
