These are good comments.

Honestly, yeah. I mean, not the best but I definitely am more in favor of comments being a commentary than explaining what's happening. Explaining why is better than what, but in general, comments where anything absolutely bonkers is happening are useful. Bare minimum, I think some sort of acknowledgement that the person writing the code also recognized their code was weird (necessarily or not) is nice.
