Let me ask this question... what's the HARM in "read in the bytes"?
Having comments that are superfluous:
(a) still requires brain processing, and my brain is in short supply :/
(b) obscures what's actually being done (see note below)
(c) requires maintenance
Note: If comments like that are well to the right and justified along
some far-right column I'd be slightly mollified as it keeps them out of
the way.
...but I've never been through a code review where those comments
wouldn't have been tagged for deletion. They're just not helpful (in
this specific case).
Murray, have you ever actually had a compiler choke on a source file
because of comments?!?
I tweaked a compiler during college to do fun things when it encountered
naughty words in comments. That was fun.
