IME, these costs, while real, are dwarfed by the costs of making bad
changes due to misunderstanding of why the code does what it does.
And if I'm asking a contributor to add comments explaining why the
code does what it does, it's usually because I didn't understand that
by just looking at the code. And if I don't immediately understand
that, there arew good chances quite a few others won't.

So we are in agreement?
