I read your post, it's actually ironic how astoundingly self-unaware it is.

Of course it is self-unaware. Did you expect his post to be self-aware? Perhaps you meant to post in this other topic (since your reply makes about as much sense there):

Re:Commenting code

On: Lies Programmers Tell Themselves

I always like the rule that comments should explain why this code exists and is the way it is, and code should explain how it works.

One of my favorite comments:
int loopCnt = 2; // initialize loopCnt to 2

This could have been fixed as:
int loopCnt = 2; // maximum retries

Of course better would have been:
int retriesRemaining = 2;
