- Iftheshoefits 13y agoReading code is a purposeful activity, though; namely, to understand what the code does. The speed with which that can be done is relevant in the margins from a productivity standpoint, but to build an argument for code structure around it strikes me as missing the point of the "axiom" you quote.
