"Bug" at 09:00?

at 09:00 it is mentioned, that commenting in functions.php tells the browser to ignore the rest of the line etc. ...

i think this is incorrect, as it's a php comment that doesn't reach the browser. is that correct?

like mentioned it sounds like it creats an html comment that is delivered via the source code.

From what I can tell the comment is converted from PHP to HTML and the browser ignores anything inside of the HTML comment. Is that what he is trying to say?

oh I see, that'd make sense ... but as I see in the source code, those comments are not distributed via the the source file + the comments (regarding sense/content) don't really make sense in the html as an html comment
