That's how it should be, IMHO. Obfuscation and golf are two totally
different playing fields, and there seems to be little overlap in top
players [1]. Personally, I can't do obfuscations. Just haven't got the
right mindset.

And often the shortest solution is also the clearest. Well, perhaps not
often, but it happens. The winning entry in the Cantor tournament was
a very good example of this, IIRC. And my final solutions usually are
easier to comprehend than my initial attempts.

(-ugene

[1] Andre Savigne is the one exception I know of.
