I think the Uncle Bob quote is good: "Code comments are not the Schindler's List. They're not pure good."

If a line of code has a comment attached to it, the reader needs to understand both the code and the comment. The comment is written in natural language. There are multiple ways of understanding it. It must be written with great care so that people reading it don't misunderstand it. Otherwise it will likely just confuse people. How about putting that effort in writing the code line with clarity? The reader must read and understand it in any case.

Stick with the code, people!
