> reminds me of the classic UNIX comment "You are not expected to understand this"
For the younger readers, this comment is present not because the code it relates to was particularly complicated but because the source comprised part of the Computer Science degree course at Berkeley at the time. The comment was to let the students know that that piece of code wasn't part of the syllabus and they didn't need to learn it.
Proof that even the industry pioneers we look up to find it hard to write unambiguous comments. :-)
