> I’m not sure if I understand the whole idea but could you explain what this method does?

The worst part about this is that it forces more unnecessary communication in the code-review process...

If you're reviewing, then say what you think needs to change and why...

Not to mention when my mind comes up with the logic to solve a coding problem, it’s absolutely not in a format that lends itself to explaining to another human

So now you’re making me sit and “look stupid” because I have to actually parse out in human language why I think the way I think, meaning I have to sit and reason out why I did something

This is such a terrible approach

It has something to do with "making the person realize the problem by themselves", because some people get offended if you directly tell them "do Y because it's better", but I completely agree the way is being done there is not effective.
