There are a few reasons why I consider comments important:
languages are ambiguous, or lacking in semantic clarity. A perfectly formed algorithm may not always reveal what it's attempting to do, rather only how it is done.
How something is done, or what is happening, is not always enough to understand why the function would be called in the first place. Though I agree with nice function names, I disagree with names that are 80-100 characters long. Short of those lengths there will always be some uncertainty in the function's purpose.
Functions don't live on their own, they exist in a framework. Describing how this function fits into the framework is something that code alone cannot always do. This becomes more important as frameworks become more generic or abstract.
