WTF? By definition, people are the *only* judge of readability.¹ I happen to be an excellent judge of whether a given block of code is readable to me. OTOH, if you mean is that I'm a bad judge of what makes code readable to you, and that you're a bad judge of what makes code readable to me, then I agree. :-) Dan ¹ Well, okay, compilers will tell you that your code is unreadable, but they're known to be fairly pedantic.
