Try maintaining a piece of code someone wrote 10 years ago and has since been modified by 20 different people, all "optimizing" their code to "save" 1 or 2 instructions here or there (that does database access that takes much longer), with variable names like i, and no comments. Bonus points for getting called at 3AM because the code broke in a critical production batch job and having to figure it all out.
Then see is you still disagree with him.
