I think even the second comment is not that helpful.

Just use (boolean) variables that phrase what your comment would explain, often more concise and better to read IMO. Also if the logic is more complex compose multiple named (boolean) variables. I think comments seldom make any sense at all (function doc is a one of the rare cases, mostly for the user of the library in the IDE).
