I believe it's easier to read a native language than code. I would also counter there is no harm to comments like this so just because you don't find it useful doesn't mean someone else won't.
Imagine using the time that spent on "re"-visiting "re"-opened bugs that are vague enough to be argued about on writing code that doesn't need these "re"s in the first place.
I contend that that might be a difficult place to get to especially because it's a team effort as well, but I feel it's more productive and less stressful to work like that.
