    I assume this is two statements: one without the parentheses, and one where each parenthesized word replaces the word before it. This is a compact, but borderline unreadable way to write two statements with the same structure. I hate it.

    Edit: it makes a lot more sense in a live lecture, where the lecturer writes down the first sentence, then says aloud the second sentence while only replacing the necessary words on the board.
