I definitely get your point, but it's also pretty annoying to write weird indirect or meta-functional code, not just to read it. It's still almost always faster to read than to write.

I can think of edge cases where a certain section of code is easier and faster to write than to read, but in general - in our practical day-to-day experiences - reading a lot of code is faster than writing a lot of code. Not just faster but less mentally and physically taxing. Still mentally taxing, yes, but less.
