If you put it that way, it does sound not correct, and I would agree
with you too :). 

But, IMO, it has to be more subjective than that. The comments removed,
IMO, add no additional value (the field name conveys the same
information). You can see that I left alone the comments that provide
some value.

In effect, the code does look better (than I found it :) at the cost of
removal of redundant comments.

If you still don't want to include, I would accept your decision.
