The worst part about comments is that they just add a cognitive load of reading and parsing extra lines of text.

What if the underlying logic changes? Do I need to update the original witty comment as well?

How do I know if the comment is still relevant? No compiler nor tests will tell me that and now I'm left with a task of parsing a language with much more degrees of freedom (English), without any support from the IDE. It becomes even harder in international teams.
