They do show some diagrams with comments.

It's true that there's no validation of comments. But there's also no validation that the name of a variable is what that variable actually means, or that the name of a function is what that function actually does.

Indeed - but with text programs you are forced to provide a name (hopefully a meaningful one!)
Honestly dithering over what to name something is the biggest timesuck, I wish I was unprincipled enough to just name them a,b,c... maybe use a drawing of a flow chart as the readme.md xD

  There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors.
