Consider, that in the US most news papers are written to be  
understandable by readers with no more than a 5th grade education.  
Other parts of the world are hopefully doing better.

There is a pleasure in creating well-written, understandable  
programs. There is a satisfaction in finding a program structure that  
tames the complexity of an application. We enjoy seeing our  
algorithms expressed clearly and persuasively. "We also profit from  
our clearly written programs, for they are much more likely to be  
correct and maintainable than obscure ones."
