Code documentation is like sex, when it's good it's great, and when it's not good...it's still better then no documentation.
I disagree. When comments are essentially just a rephrasing of the class/method name or arguments it is not helpful and anything that is not helpful is cluttering up the code and making it harder to quickly see what the code is doing. I'd rather have no comments than comments like that.
Not to mention the code and comment will inevitably become inconsistent with each other whenever someone forgets to update both.
