That seems reasonable enough when you unpack it; I just don't see the point of stating it in falsely absolute terms. Maybe (almost certainly) I'm too much of a literalist, but instead of saying 'always' and then clarifying in the next line that of course you don't mean always -- or saying that code is for humans not computers, when you mean that code is for humans and computers -- why not say what you mean the first time around. Maybe it'll be a bit less pithy, but it will also drag you into fewer discussions with people like me :)
