It's not the "power and terseness" of C that leads to obfuscation,
but the unthinking exploitation of those features.  Otherwise, one
would be able to argue by analogy against the automobile, since
I suspect far fewer people died in traffic-related accidents when
we only used horses.

What people need to do is learn to harness the power and use it
wisely.
