Github user kinow commented on the issue:

I think what Gary meant is that that comment is harmless, and can be used
by other developers that want/need to debug the code, and see what is going on.
I've used it in some projects myself, to indicate to fellow developers parts of
the code that may be a bit fuzzy or complicated. I'm OK if it's kept, but OK
too if others prefer to remove it (if we replace it by a comment like "Here we
can see variable x" I'm OK as well).
