You're not wrong, but comments are bad practice because they allow you to write code you have to explain in a comment. In my opinion comment-less code works really well with SOLID because it forces your developers to code clean and decoupled.

I've yet to be in a "oh this bit needs a comment" moments where the code couldn't be improved significantly to make it both better and more understandable.

Counterpoint for me: V8 source code. It's well written, and easy to follow when you know what you're looking at. But some comments would greatly improve the discoverability for new contributors.
