You can code golf in any language and it will probably result in less comprehensible code. If there's one thing I think I agree with the original author on, it's that terseness is not an end unto itself. But I think the overall point that terseness can sometimes be bad so therefore we shouldn't work at a higher level of abstraction is really at odds with everything we've learned about programming in the last century.
