All I'm saying is that the Infocom Imps developed on a computer that was plenty big enough for comments and readable names to be no extravagance. The sources above show it happened in practice and not just in theory. The company started after they'd been used to this kind of environment for years. (And they were at least adjacent to actual literate-programming pioneers.)
I'm not saying they were into literate programming, I'm saying it's misleading here to talk about what coding on the C64 was like.
