There's no realistic evidence to support that other programmers are not equally
capable of understanding the intricate nature of pondering. The author's
understanding of his own program isn't relevant, unless he/she is absolutely
sure that the program has a serious problem pondering correctly or is aware of
the capabilities of the opponents in this area.
