Gee, you mean you've been fooling people for 35 years? I've been doing
it for about 10 years longer. Comments are the MOST IMPORTANT part of
your programming.

Your code says WHAT you are doing. Comments say WHY you are doing it.
Two entirely different things - and the why is more important than the what.

You've obviously never worked on large projects with multiple
programmers, or in a structured programming environment. Both demand
the need for comments - and for good reason.

And the fact you had to find a wiki by some unknown "programmer" on the
internet to "prove" your case shows just how weak it is.
