"Clearly" is also subjective. What might be perfectly clear to me reading my own code may be really confusing to someone else, and vice versa. Especially if the person reading the code isn't as familiar with the language as the person who wrote it, or if the code is using some syntactic sugar that isn't super common, or plenty of other reasons.
True. It's more like there's no need to comment an if statement with "checks if a is larger than b"
