Roughly the same idea applies to poorly written while loops
Also it maps to an intuitive metaphor about finding ourselves confused in situations that should be simple
After writing I started thinking about how in general I use named functions to better discern boundaries of thought.
Not due to re-use but because I like to have units of computation I can test at the edges. And that can be referred to.
Tools: ease of creating boundaries, ease of testing edges, and ease of discerning between these units of computation.
The reason I mention this is that these tools generally don't come for free: I'm generally hand-writing them.
Debuggers offer 'breakpoints' but it would be better if they offered ways of highlighting blocks of code.
And then visualised the data within the annotated code in useful ways.
