Why would you think that? Most executable code includes lots of comments, unless it's been preprocessed.

Still, I agree the figure is outrageous.

I don't usually count comments to as lines of code. I didn't realize that some people did. Perhaps I'm just unusual in how I count them. It seems there's some ambiguity however so it's very possible that they were counting comments after all.
