I'll doubt they'll find it to be a convincing argument, because it relies on a fairly uncharitable interpretation of the claim. Rather than interpreting it as "literally no well-written code needs comments" I would interpret it as "well-written code doing straightforward things (like most code is doing) doesn't need comments". Complex algorithms trying to quickly approximate a np-hard search problem in a complicated environment are a fairly obvious exception to the rule, even if you believe the rule is almost always applicable.

I'm also not sure when the last time I heard someone seriously make this claim was...
