It makes sense to an old-school computer maintenance programmer. Its badly written but its there. I often said that my job was really mind-reading, trying to figure out what programmers before me intended to do but did incorrectly.

You are right, the choices' logic is hidden from the user. Someone was being "clever" which often ends in disaster in this field. 50 years ago a major (and my favorite) book was "Egoless Programming."
Thanks for this!
