Hi folks,
this one jumped right into my eyes: "Comments are not evil by themselves,
but are sometimes used as a deodorant to cover bad code. Often we can
remove the comments after doing some refactorings, because they are not
needed anymore. The code should be self-explaining."

Formal Concept Analysis", see
