in thread The art of comments: (rave from the grave)

At the risk of being pedant, but inherent clearness for me actually means that the program is perfect because it's doing nothing. I can understand 30 lines of code, with input and prints, not being commented; OTOH I would be disappointed of a 1000 lines program lacking them.

Moreover, maybe a perfect program needs no comments - but surely an imperfect programmer needs them to understand it :)

Don't fool yourself.
