   I doubt that.   
      
   I would expect with parenthesis's:   
      
   actually read expression : 2 second   
   thinking "nice to see good craftmanship" : 1 second   
      
   and without:   
      
   actually read expression : 1.9 second   
   thinking "arghh - this code looks written in hast - should I raise an   
   issue? No - there are probably more important issues!" : 3 seconds   
      
   :-)
