My favorite (almost) obscene quote I found reviewing code, although I never could find the back story to it:
"Which idiot wrote this crap?
You did!
Which idiot hired me?"
I think this also points to the statistical significance. Code that has been worked over a couple of times and/or has been worked on by different people for all those hard and fringe problems will be better, but also accumulate more comments venting the trouble people had fixing them. It does not seem very interesting.
