It's at least a couple orders of magnitude more horrible than that. All we have is the binaries. There's no high-level language they can "decompile" into, because the binaries were not compiled from anything. They were literally "grown" from previous binaries by randomness and time. There was no mind guiding the changes so the only way to deduce some design lines is by looking at the system constraints. Nothing makes "sense" besides that. That's how you get, for example, the perception of time subroutine entangled with the vision routine [1] Oh and the hardware is the same deal: we can examine existing working "processors", but each one was "grown", not designed.
