  Why? It suggests to me, having encountered it for the first time, that programs must be readable to remain useful. Otherwise they'll be increasingly difficult to execute.

    Maybe difficult to change but they can still serve their purpose. It’s patently false in that code gets executed much more than it is read by humans.

      Code that can’t be easily modified is all but useless.
