The Worst Problem Is When Comments Become Irrelevant

Incorrect comments are far worse than no comment at all, right? So that misinformation puts the developer in the wrong frame of mind. And it's worse than if they didn't have a comment at all and they were forced to read and interpret the code. The older the comet is, the more likely it will just be plain wrong. If you got to change something in one place, you have changed it in five,. Because that just speaks of copy and paste and a nightmare.
