What the hell is a Grammar Anarchist?
You can be one! Since we don’t have a U.S. language, feel FREE to set your own rules -- interpret grammar YOUR WAY. You’re not in England anymore. Join the anarchy of U.S. grammar! Make your choices and preserve them in YOUR STYLE MANUAL. —The Grammar Anarchist
A missing comment can screw up your day -- and maybe your life. Don't take chances. I use the habit-of-the-last-comma to make sure there is no misunderstanding.
Tell me, who gets the most $$$$ from this will? "I want my estate divided equally among Jane, Mary, Michael and Charles." (Mike and Chuck may have to go to court.)

I learned that "and" and the comma meant the same thing so it wasn't necessary to use them together. Am I wrong?

There is no need for a comma if listed items are joined by a conjunction.
