This reminds me of a news story about a guy who reportedly had
claimed he saw a UFO.  But when he was interviewed about it,
he said, "I didn't say it was a UFO. I didn't know *what* it
was."

Yes, in retrospect I could have picked a better example, because
I didn't mean for the question to be unfalsifiable, at least not
in principle.  It was just the first example that occurred to me
after remembering the /real/ example that happened to me recently,
which was even worse, it being a nebulous (and probably equally
unfalsifiable) political statement.

Sort of, not exactly though.  My objection was to the glossing
over of several (and I'm not even sure how many) essential
aspects, including:  what counts as a complex requirements
document;  what evidence is there that other documents in this
set are comprehensible;  for that matter, what is the metric for
being comprehensible;  and most significantly, what support is
there for the claim that the C/C++ standards are just as
comprehensible as other members of the set?  The combination
of vagueness and lack of any sort of supporting statements
is what prompted the "glib" appraisal.

One way that the C and C++ standards documents differ from other
requirements documents is the two standards documents are
concerned with two different things, viz., implementations and
programs, simultaneously giving constraints and relationships
for both.  (This may be the same as what you just said except
in slightly different language.)  That property is enough by
itself to suspect a notable difference between the two standards
and requirements documents that deal with only one principal
entity.

Oh yes, I definitely meant "glib", and not "glib".  (And you'll
be pleased to know I puzzled over your statement for a moment,
and then laughed out loud.)
