yeah, maybe not the only way to do it wrong, that's for certain

may i ask you how do you ever learn to speak and understand the least of 
any language at all? don't you have to hear (thus look into code for 
that matter) and reproduce even though a mockup at first?

unless you're the creator of the language, which i'm sure very few 
humans can brag on that, you always  have to look into someone's "code", 
even before thinking on developing on it--any language, any code, 
lexical, grammar, syntax, or style, be that an idiom, dialect or just 
accent.

cheers
