Ha - I find unsubstantiated, parroted mantras like this to be a team lead smell :) In the same way that Agile development has become a mindless cult of rituals that has little to nothing left of the original manifesto's vision, code reviews peppered with thoughtless "code smell" comments have become the bane of development.

Indeed on a code review that kind of comment is bad. We have sonarcube for that kind of nonsense. The reviewer should explain why, and ideally show how it could be done better.
