The counter argument is bunk, you change the comments when you change the code. It’s not hard. If you forget, them a reviewer will notice. If not, then you aren’t focusing enough attention on the finer details of a project, to your detriment.

Personally, I find that a lot of good, accurate comments and documentation helps me to trust a code base more because I can see that the devs cared and focused on the finer details rather than just tossing code over a fence at me.
