I agree with what you say (and that is exactly what I meant by "good comments"), but that is not what this fellow's philosophy was. His philosophy was that all comments are bad no matter what, with no exceptions. In his code reviews, he simply excised all comments, regardless of why they were there and what purpose they served.

That sounds boneheaded. Comments are a feature for a good reason after all.
