 		 #99498 - this is my point

Just a comment a teacher made once.
He indicated he did not want to guess what our code did.
If he could not figure it out with a quick look, he would assume it was wrong an deduct points.

I understand this viewpoint; however, with such approach I believe I could be able to fool him submitting a completely failed program with beautifully crafted comments.

And this was my point of the no-comments proofreading.
