This is better wording. I will change it.

Will change.

For the specific case of ModRM.mod being 0, I feel I need to clarify
that REX.B is not decoded and if SIB.base is %r13 the base is also 0.
This comment adds clarity because REX.X is decoded when determining
SIB.index.

Will change it.

I will remove them.
