I believe what I am reading is that there is a group who prefers their
code to be, as much as possible, arranged so that commenting a line does
not require messing with adjacent lines. I see that as being a sort of
personal insurance that debugging and later code changes won't introduce
unexpected errors, either when commenting code or when uncommenting code.
Sounds good to me.

I always write my SQL select statements like this (with at least three
spaces on the beginning of each line):
Select
Field1
, Field2
, Field3
, Field4
, Field5
From FILEA
Which not only makes the SQL easier to read, but also easy to comment out a
given field from a query management query like this:
Select
Field1
--, Field2
, Field3
, Field4
, Field5
From FILEA
And equally easy to comment out in a free-form RPG program (prepared SQL
statement) like this:
SQL = 'Select ' +
' Field1' +
// ', Field2' +
', Field3' +
', Field4' +
', Field5' +
' From FILEA'
