Because code looks better without bad comments is not a very good justification for never writing comments!

On that basis, because symbol names can also be inappropriate and/or unhelpful, you could give up trying to use "meaningful" names and just use random characters instead...


Its almost as if you think using random comments is a bad thing, I dunno I think it keeps people on their toes
