Mandated Comments

It is just plain silly to have a rule that says that every function must have a javadoc, or every variable must have a comment. Comments like this just clutter up the code, propagate lies, and lend to general confusion and disorganization.
For example, required javadocs for every function lead to abominations.This clutter adds nothing and serves only to obfuscate the code and create the potential for lies and misdirection.

/**
*
* @param title The title of the CD
* @param author The author of the CD
* @param tracks The number of tracks on the CD
* @param durationInMinutes The duration of the CD in minutes
*/
public void addCD(String title, String author,
int tracks, int durationInMinutes) {
CD cd = new CD();
cd.title = title;
cd.author = author;
cd.tracks = tracks;
cd.duration = duration;
cdList.add(cd);
}
