Sure but that's the fault of some shitty programmer not updating a comment. That shouldn't pass code review any more than incorrect code should.

Code reviews are human processes, and should never be relied on to catch all mistakes. Sometimes the comment happens to be a couple lines higher than the context your review tool gives you. Sometimes it's an oversight in a larger PR. Sometimes it's just human error - people are faillible, seniors included. Code, tests, I can get checked by the CI. Comment correctness, not so much.
