Why don't you think it is better? Easier to understand. I was mostly joking, but I think it's a little unfair to imply people who are not great at math are bad programmers.
they are certainly bad computer scientists, since its a subdiscipline of mathematics.
can they be great artisans? sure.
why do i think its not better? i said im not sure. i think the two options are about equal in readability, up to taste. yours is probably more efficient in terms of cpu cycles.
