In general, what I want to say (or write (it is not essential) is that the use of an excessive number of clips (even when it is justified (e.g. in program code (especially for beginners (although experienced programmers are no exception) or in mathematical formulas) significantly reduces the readability (and therefore the comprehensibility) even for the author himself (not to mention the random reader (who (unlike the first) has no idea where to put the missing clips) of this creation.
