The pre_get_comments hook fires for all users. It's contained within
the function that queries comments, so if you're fetching comments
using the normal method (eg get_comments() or wp_list_comments() )
then this hook will fire.

You might want to check that another plugin (or your theme) isn't
doing something funky with comments (eg fetching them with a direct
SQL query).
