It's not a question of can they read them, it's are they readable. I obviously don't believe things just because people say them. Do you?
Either everyone who uses array languages does actually find them readable, or they're all persistently lying for... what reason? And forcing themselves to use something they don't find readable? Why would anyone do that! Especially considering a lot of array language users are hobbyists, who have chosen to use them, it's not like they're forced to.
