Sure if you have

    5 < x && x < 10
you can use the number line visualization very quickly, but it breaks down if the code is in fact

    x < 10 && 5 < x
It means the same thing. But it's not obvious.

So the number line analogy is incomplete and even when there is only </<= you still need careful reasoning.
