Obfuscation doesn't necessarily need to be hard to spot, just hard to understand. Like, could you spot this in a chunk of minified code? Probably. Would you be able to figure out what was going on? Probably not without some difficulty.

If it's hard to understand like that then I would be automatically suspicious of it.
