Whence the notion that good code is "code that a beginner could understand". Granted, this example may lend itself to this argument; excellent code is judged on a number of criteria, but not every beginner can recognize, or make sense of,the genius of some things. Sometimes, we
mistake simple for easy. The simplest methods/ways/equations might be the best
99% of the time; but we usually only recognize their genius and make sense of them after much contemplation.

humbly,
novitiate
