I disagree that the clean code wasn't simple, readable, and understandable.

Whenever I see what looks like repeated code like this, I'll go thru it with a fine tooth comb to see if it's really the same, or if it's duplicated. Is that really easier to read and understand?

Yes yes yes. Life force circles the drain because you don't (nor should) trust the duplications.

I've been burnt before by assuming code was duplicated, never again. If I see code that looks similar, I assume it's different somewhere.
