So icsa[1] said something interesting on this point: The issue, for me, is not readability but context. Even a word or two (e.g. cuts, begins, dims) helps greatly to establish the context of the code. Like having a map before hiking. A comment can clearly provide that context without making the variable names long.

Surely you must appreciate that if we use too many characters the window will scroll? |
