I don't see how adding those brackets changes the validity of the comment.  It _does_ introduce characters that normally change what the code does and thus makes the code reader start to have to look more carefully.  You just mangled the code readability and added a few lines for nothing.

This is really weird coding style Kenn.  If you want to change the comment, then do so.  That's much better than doing this (the other times we have we really were scoping variables)
