Commentary and polyglossia

CODE:
  1. while (open) {
  2. /*
  3. // elegant testing!
  4. int tabs = parser.getDepth();
  5. StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
  6. for (int i = 0; i < tabs; i++ ) {
  7. buf.append("\t*");
  8. }
  9. */

The commentary seems to have been written by someone who did not write this commented out code.  Keep in mind two of the voices in this code are teacher and student, Brett Stalbaum and Jason Najarro.   The phrase "elegant testing," which is a comment (//) within the commented out code (/*...*/) seems to be a communication between two programmers through the medium of the code, as feedback not on currently operating code but on a remnant of the code used in testing.  Like a landscape, the code retains signs of its formation.
