I don't know how to validate this but this seems to be a specific case of "avoiding magic" where there's a lot of dynamically generated variables and things. Having the static text of the program more or less show its intent helps readability and searchability quite a bit. I suppose the other extreme is to have a program generator with an input spec and you being left to read through the generated code without access to the input spec.
