> These kinds of people will have no problem writing huge SQL queries with joins nested four levels deep, or pages and pages of declarative Pandas or R code using weird transformation and filter logic, but they'll have humongous problems understanding simple loops or variable assignment.

I think that comes from their mathematics background.

I'd like to wheel out the "left handed scissors" argument again; the large and persistent arguments over what is most intuitive should be taken as evidence that different people find different things intuitive or comfortable.

Which is more natural to use, a symmetrical mouse or one with a slight bend to it in a comma shape to more closely fit being held in the right hand? What happens when a left handed person picks it up?
