I would say it's pretty "special" and well written code if outsiders can come in and quickly understand it. You should have commended them for their work.

That is true. They were definitely a skilled team that had written the system. However I still think most large systems can be reverse “design” engineered fairly easily by someone who is experienced.

I was coming here to say this. I have definitely found myself reading a codebase that is easy to read and easy to follow, and mistakenly concluding therefore that its developers were not solving complicated problems.
