Shrug. Most of the code I have to deal with regularly is primarily commented with profoundly unhelpful, often blatantly incorrect nuggets such as this. Forever what and never why. It seems better if it just faded into a fossilized archeology that only needed to be Gandalfed in the most dire circumstance. In my situation, making the comments "stand out so that people will make better ones or fix them" seems optimistic to the point of being naive. We may in the end be down to the old "what should be" vs "what is".
