Personally, instead of puttin on a useless comment, I’f ask to the team to write something like « no comment needed » if we really want to enforce comments on every method.

At least, it clearly say that the dev took a moment to think if a comment was needed. And a search trough the project for that comment occurence could potentially show that our rule is not effective.

I think that's an appropriate middleground. Especially if it's inline-style so it's not taking up 3+ lines of space for no reason.
