I found it a bit weird that the author does have the knowledge to dissect a program in a language she does not understand, but lacks the knowledge that foo and bar are non-meaning variables.

She does have a point though, that 'foo' and 'bar' are 100% meaningless and could easily be replaced with names that do make sense.
