> If the human can read/understand it well enough to comment it, then it is readable by humans.

No, because the one who is writing the comment has context later reader dont. The writer knows what the requirements are, what he was trying to achieve and what he struggled to comprehend. Writer also presumably spent more time trying to understand it then the person coming later should.

I'm not sure what you're arguing? I'm responding to:

>> This way, LLMs add a bunch of comments, but it doesn't affect your actual experience in trying to read the code

by saying that at least reading the code and generating comments is forcing some understanding. Is there a disagreement in that?

You're saying that it's not (necessarily) enough understanding, which may be true but beside the point.
