You could read the syntax and see what it logically did. But you likely don't always know why it did something, and you definitely don't know why another way wasn't chosen (maybe that way would have better aligned with your long term goals)

I do know why. I read the code and understand it. Reading code for me is easier than writing it.

You're right though about it not choosing some different path, I might or I might not know that.
