I understand that you might find the mathematical notation clearer but I think it's presumptuous of you to speak on behalf of all humans, or even all human math

I understand that you might find the mathematical notation clearer but I think it's presumptuous of you to speak on behalf of all humans, or even all human mathematicians. I'm a mathematics graduate and I find the conditional operator more readable in a program because it corresponds to what the program actually does (it checks the condition first); but I also recognize that the two notations have exactly the same information content and only differ superficially in syntax, making it entirely a matter of familiarity.
