To the downvote, in case it wasn't clear, I was laughing because I agree with the post, and because "simplify the living daylights out of your calculations" is just an awesome phrase. I laugh at things I agree with way more than things I don't, because the former things actually make me happy. (And the latter kind of laughter, on the rare occasion that it happens, I keep to myself.)
But if the downvote was for irrelevance, fair enough. I wouldn't mind being told that expressing appreciation of writing style alone is frowned upon.
It is frowned upon by some people, but not by all -- certainly not by me. See discussion here.
Thanks for the background... I think for a compromise, I might just stick to expressing laughter when I happen to have something of content to say along with it :)
