I guess an extension of what I mean is maybe we should write our comments in a way that a human could read a program like a set of how-to instructions, complete the same operations, and arrive at the same result interpreting your work in written language as the computer would arrive at running the code. In my way of thinking about things, code wouldn't be complete until it could be interpreted by man and machine equally.

This allows for the preservation of our human expertise by guaranteeing that any program can be translated in the future by another human reading the same written language into any other programming language (even if they can't understand your code). This could be important especially for some of the more exotic languages with sparse documentation today, imagine what it will be like trying to decipher these things in 200 years!
