Right-o. The trick is to "read" it like pseudocode, or like English-ish.

    Log the inspected value.

    Save the model, then
      Update the UI with the attributes.

    Scale the rectangle by (the height times the factor).

The big syntactic difference still being the "model.save" vs "save the model" ordering of dot-notation. But them's the breaks.
