A great viewpoint, but not what I think the objective was. Code needs to inform humans first, inform computers second. Because of the human cant understand the code, they can't change it, and being able to change code is what decones maintainable and "good". To figure out how to write code that informs humans well, you have to read code. See what works and what doesn't for someone who is not the original author. Being usable without changes (what you describe) is nice, but not what most people mean when calling code "clean" or "maintainable", or even "good" (that might imply a good API, but not the code itself.
