Honestly, I think the author just needs to be more patient. It takes time and determination to understand these things. He didn't even make an attempt to understand the code in question. Every programmer has had to pick code apart to figure out how it works, its how you learn. He just wasn't willing to / didn't see the value in putting in the time. Nothing wrong with this, if you don't see the value don't put in the time, but I think its foolish for people to assume you can just "become a programmer" without investing a very substantial amount of time.
