In some cases, oddly, the intent of a function can actually become clearer when the logic gets stripped of all the bad naming protocols and names for the moving pieces have to be reconstructed from only its actions and contexts.

In a perfect world, this shouldn't be true and the content embedded within those symbols in the source code should be an easy lever towards relatively perfect understanding of both intent and implementation; however, software is a relatively young discipline and this is actually a difficult linguistic problem.
