I always wondered if the "useless comment" comment was really a way of bragging employed by experienced programmers (or their wannabes). Why is it a burden on anyone? Most IDE clearly highlight the comments so you can tune it out. Also, even if it is obvious, at least when a bug presents itself, you don't have to spend much time figuring out the intention of the author and if it is indeed a bug or by design.
