An algorithm also solves the same problem. But that doesn't really matter. The point it: It is the same problem, there are many attributes, many choices beyond syntactic choice that affect the comprehension to people unfamiliar to your code. Many of them opinionated and arbitrary, but it's easy to draw the line based on your own experience and unwittingly cast out people with more or less knowledge than yourself as being more obscure or more common.
