Interesting, it's perfectly valid and imho clear.

  I'm a little confused. Thane2600 has 'complete shock' and that is inversely proportional to his programing abilities therefore he can't program? It's the semantics rather than the syntax that are tricky.

    If something is simply complete, can it still be proportional to something? Let me illustrate the conundrum with some other sentence: "My complete and undying love for you is proportional to my blood alcohol level." For values of proportional equal to caused by, I suppose.
