I'd argue that both of you are somehow correct. Give me the code, so I can see what it does. And give me documentation (be it correct comments, a dedicated documentation or whatever) to know why it does something.

Code states the obvious, but you cannot read between the lines.

It reminds me of how narrow roads are sometimes used to slow traffic, though I dont know if its effective here. Im hesitant to discourage it when the language is so explicit about it being bad, it might be quite effective afaict
