If you've seen the comment: "Explanation more complicated than the code itself" you've view sourced my code and realized the reason programmers make minimal notations.

We had to insert a couple of lines of code something like —

x=y
y=x

With a comment

C Do not remove or change these lines.

This was necessary to cure a compiler problem. Sometimes, the compiler, when it grabbed a section of code, would get an error. This changed the section of code’s boundary.

I've seen the comment "Nobody here or at knows what this statement does, but if it's changed, the display quits working" in aircraft display software.

Well, at least they were *honest*...
