For documenting ASM code, it's seldom necessary to include more than one line of comment per line of code.

For 'C', however, it's imperative that there be at least a page of code for every 'C' statement. Why? Well, it's necessary so the coder can justify why he uses the specific syntax that he uses as well as documenting his logic. In ASM, it's seldom necessary to justify one's syntax. It is always necessary, regardless of the language, to document one's logic.

That's why it's a myth that 'C' is easier, better, in some way, or more maintainable than ASM. The only advantage I can see in using a high-level language is for portability to another processor. You get a little bit of a head start that way.
