That is a rather bold sentiment.
At uni the attitude is opposite - I actually saw home assignments
stating "remember to use many comments to make the code more
readable".
I actually agree with you; there is much less clutter if the comments
don't duplicate that which is already communicated through good
naming, and the code is more readable when good naming makes comments
superfluous.
