“Clearly” is also subjective. What might be perfectly clear to me reading my own code may be really confusing to someone else, and vice versa. Especially if the person reading the code isn’t as familiar with the language as the person who wrote it, or if the code is using some syntactic sugar that isn’t super common, or plenty of other reasons.
You don’t comment what something does, ir can clearly be seen from the code itself. You comment why you do it.
Yes, that would be the context I’m talking about

True. It’s more like there’s no need to comment an if statement with “checks if a is larger than b”
