Just thinking out loud here, but isn't correctness(grammar and spelling) the only thing we all(mostly) agree on? For example, someone well versed with old English literature may consider Shakespeare easy to understand, but I certainly wouldn't. I think "speaks clearly, easy to understand" are just as subjective as our notions of clean/idiomatic/readable code.

Also, we are discussing a situation when everyone is more or less fluent in a given [programming] language, and the probable culprit is just flexing their recently gained obscure expressions or constructing overcomplex one-liners.
