Why do you need ‘Comment’ when Savoir means to know how to do something?

Susan, theoretically you may not need ‘ comment ‘, but it is French as it is spoken by native speakers. There is also disagreement about whether it means the same thing or is slightly different. 

See 2 links below :

My wife ( French) included ‘ comment ‘ when I asked her for her immediate response.
