This is a comment that I like, acknowledging the obvious unsophisticated but no less reasonable objection from the bystanders, and offering them an alternate viewpoint. My reservation would be that most applications of arithmetic operators are binary and not ternary. A typical expression in one of my C programs at least has some function call, some subscript, some member access, some addition / subtraction / multiplication / division. But very few have more than one of each. Overall arithmetic is actually quite rare by itself in most code.
