I don't know. I feel like I've always needed to think about any line of code with several operators on the same line, but I've been in this business for a long time, so I might have learned the habit from negative experience.

I'm glad you mentioned it though, because now I'm curious if there's a difference among programmers who score well or poorly on a cognitive reflection test. Maybe people with a tendency to suppress their intuitive response are also less likely to think that a line of code has an obvious meaning?
