   You know that, I know that.  There is no intelligence to be had from AI's.

   But that makes it even worse : (all) the people who that that formule was   
   stolen^wtaken^wcopied from where not sure about the order of operations ?   
      
   I can imagine plenty such brackets when trying to teach beginners some math,   
   but not really in source-code like that.   Also, too many of a good thing   
   can be bad (obsfucating where its actually important).
