Hi Uri,
some people used to write programs or at least parts of it in assembler, so I'm
pretty sure they are able to make some conclusions only by reading some
assembler listings. Furthermore there are some reverse engineering tools which
are able to create flowcharts of your program just based on your *.exe file.
