That saved time can accumulate though less programming errors since it's more clear to the author what's going on, or saved debugging time or saved interpretation time when you post a script to a mail list with 100 readers.
It can take a long time, like hours to come up with a meaningful name for an iterator, for me at least, and that may chance as I understand the problem better. I, for one, think at a prelanguage level.
