+1.

To me it seems normal to debate wording/terminology with new code
comments, but that's about it. I find this zeal to change old code
comments misguided. It's okay if they're clearly wrong or have typos.
Anything else is just hypercorrection. And in any case there is a very
real chance of making the overall situation worse rather than better.
Probably in some subtle but important way.
