Here's something else to consider. There used to be obfuscated C programming contests. If symbols are just symbols and using them in nonstandard ways isn't confusing then shouldn't this mean that there is no such thing as obfuscated C programs? Does the existence of obfuscated C programming contests imply that programmers have a serious problem with understanding vs rote learning?
