It struck me as an oddly specific part of a large codebase to immediately jump to, but in retrospect it makes sense. I'm all for reading code, but I think that if you can get away with not reading code, it's actually a good sign - it means all the abstractions are holding up. jgreen10 probably didn't go off and start reading the assembly code that is generated when you compile Node.js. Again, I agree with your larger point. I just want to be careful before snubbing my nose to those who don't always read up on modules they use before using them.
