 /**
  * Helper for dynamically loading module that should work with linked dependencies.
- * The problem is that we _should_ be using `require(require.resolve(moduleName, { paths: [cwd()] }))`
+ * This is equivalent of using `require(require.resolve(moduleName, { paths: [cwd()] }))`
  * However it's _not possible_ to do that with Webpack, as it has to know all the dependencies during
- * build time. `require.resolve` is also not available in any other way, so we cannot create,
- * a fake helper like we do with `dynamicRequire`.
- *
- * We always prefer to use local package, thus the value is not returned early from each `try/catch` block.
- * That is to mimic the behavior of `require.resolve` exactly.
+ * build time.
  *
  * @param moduleName module name to require
  * @returns possibly required module
