 In a way, this is true.  It's pretty easy to follow
imperative code at the statement level.  "This
puts 17 into the box called X.  This checks
whether X is zero; it's not, so we go on. ..."

Of course the point is that statement-level code
tracing gets you nowhwere in terms of big-picture
understanding or software design.

But the students having difficulty may very well
feel that they're understanding more.
