Review Comment:
   Interesting... I feel the opposite way.
   
   If we don't encode the states explicitly, then the states/transitions have 
to be encoded with local variables and hidden assumptions, and to understand 
that we have to load everything into short-term memory, which is hard.
   
   The benefit of an explicit state representation is that it's a 1:1 mapping 
from the mental model to the code:
   1) It's possible to understand each state separately
   2) It's safer: impossible states are unrepresentable, and it's easy to guard 
with sanity checks
   
   It's quite understandable for me now, because I'm already familiar with it; 
for someone without prior knowledge trying to understand it, or if it later 
evolves into a different shape, I think it will be more challenging to 
understand.
