Seems like such contrived examples

I can quickly skim the code on the right and know roughly what the createPizza function does despite a chunk of the code being missing, but I can't do that with the left side. The author complains about how you don't know all the details, but why do I care about those details? I just want my pizza. If anything, the problem is poor documentation.
