In my experience this just happens across the same floor :-)
In your scenario, it still sounds like comments are a smell, but
it's the organisation that's stinky, not just the codebase :)
Sure. The point is that the whole discussion about the comments should be
given a context. I assume we're all assuming good code practices, because
otherwise it wouldn't make sense. Good code practices are not pervasive at
all, but I assume we're in a context in which we're striving for them,
which is reasonable, as with the proper effort you can get some results.
We can't assume we're always in a properly organised corporate, though.
And large, badly organised corporates aren't emendable, at least in the
short-medium term. Probably not even in the long.
