Did you do it in a few seconds while reading from a slide and listening to a lecturer talk about math? I did the same thing as you and it took me more than 10 seconds to parse through the notation. If someone put this up on a slide during a talk and asked if I 'understood it', the answer would be no. Doesn't mean I'm incapable of understanding it, just that it uses muscles I don't flex very often. |

Possibly I'm an extreme outlier, because when I say that I try to keep up with the field a bit, I really do. I really do watch YouTube videos of presentations full of math significantly more complicated than that every so often.
But still, I would also stand by my wondering if there was something else going on here, because it still seems to be grad students in school at the time really should have followed that. When I was in grad school I am quite confident I knew several other students who would have understood that just fine, and I went to "just" Michigan State, not MIT or Berkeley.
