We all think that we write our code so other programmers can read it, and we believe that because while we have the code in our heads we don't have any problem reading it.

I don't question your intentions or abilities, but the fact remains that a whole lot of programmers find almost every piece of code they didn't write hard to read. Or they say that -- I think they mean they just don't like the look of it, or they can imagine writing it differently.
