Is not about to avoid the comments(this are useful of course), is about avoid the redundancy and obvious noise.

Sure, but that's the difference between "what" (redundant noise) and "why" (never ever redundant to anyone unfamiliar with the code).

Granted, it can be a fine line, but I've found it's better to air on the side of too many comments, leave them for a few weeks, and then come back later and pare back the unhelpful ones that have proven redundant (therefore showing them to be "what" comments).
