If by "no place" you mean "first paragraph", you're right:

> I quickly got into the habit of writing all of my boolean statements with these, instead of the more conventional && and ||, because my code became so much readable.

And I definitely agree with danso and disagree with the blog on this issue: the operators gives more structure to the code and makes it much easier to parse at a glance. With the 'and' version, I have to actually read the code to figure out what its doing; with the '&&' version, I can get the basic idea just from the code's "shape" (for lack of a better word).

I think being able to quickly grasp the idea at a glance is far more important than having code look like English.
