Is there really *any* way that can be interpreted as anything other
than "the CPU executing this code will never get to this point and
that's why there's an ASSERT(0) right after this comment"?

I don't believe there's *any* way that particular pronoun can be
ambiguous, and now we've got to the point of fetishising the bizarre
"no pronouns" rule just for the sake of it.

I get it, especially for some individuals it *can* be difficult to take
context into account, and the wilful use of pronouns instead of
spelling things out explicitly *every* *single* *time* can sometimes
help. But at a cost of conciseness and brevity.
