The kind of code I'm saying doesn't require explanatory comments in
order to be understood is *not* the kind of "genius code" to which you
refer above. "Genius" code tends to be long complicated methods, is
poorly factored, has no unit tests, and generally has poorly named
identifiers. I've had more than one occasion where I had to contend
with "genius" code. It's generally of poor quality, very difficult to
adapt to changing needs in the future, has high cyclomatic complexity
and should live only in a proof-of-concept prototype and be adapted to
production use by someone who actually understands software
engineering.
