I suspect that Assembly doesn't click either if you don't know logic gates. My granddad was an impulse electronics guy, so before receiving a PC I already knew how transistors, triggers, counters, registers, adders work. He built a simple "CPU"-like thing from some journal out of ICs and explained how it works step by step. Later it helped to clear the gaps between `z = x + y`, `adc b` and something =▯- and -|< like.
