As a CS grad student in the late '60s I visited a cousin, who was some
kind of manager. He had brought home a COBOL program one of his people had
written and asked for help figuring out what it did. It was easy to teach
him enough in an afternoon that he could follow (reasonable) code and tell
if it was doing the right (application) thing. I've not seen another
language where you could expect even a fighting chance of doing that.
