I think in a file with 7800 lines, an extra 100 lines worth of comments
aren't going to amount to much additional file size.

Silly project managers.

I had a nightmare assignment once to fix two lines of code in a file
that had 7800 lines.  There were nested tables, inside nested loops,
multiple CFiFs, lots of "cfif clientID=x and version=y"

And not one comment anywhere.   The project manager had the view that
comments only make the file size bigger and therefore slower to load.

It took me most of the day to find the lines I had to fix.

Just for spite, I put a comment in the code when i finished the task.

Cheers
