I know this might sound bad but I'm so glad that clean Smalltalk code is millimetres away of being self documented code.

The thing is that you can approximate that with other technologies too. The problem isn't the code or technologies, the problem is the synthesis power (or lack of it) of the developer.

Developers too often get themselves lost in the details and the abstraction pitfalls barely remembering why the heck they did what they did (AKA applicability and purpose)
