There's nothing limiting what a comment should be as far as I know.

As an example of what I mean, I've seen in a 10k+ lines python code a few lines of bit manipulation. There was a comment explaining what those lines did and why. They didn't expect everyone to be proficient in bit manipulation but it made it so that anyone could understand anyway.
