I never said disassembly or decompiling was easier in any way. I'll agree with you on that, it's way more difficult.

Back to the point of the meme though, if you can read assembly, you can read it all.

You've never actually compared source code to its compiled output, have you.

I've written drivers in 65 bytes of code. I don't tend to use high level languages that hide what's going on behind the scenes.
