where does the necessity for ease of parsing come from
no ones going to argue that the page should be rewritten in chinese spanish or hindi so that the information would be easier for those readers to parse
to assume that the reader needs punctuation or even proper splling in order to rcv the message is nthing more than an extra nicety for only an english reading crowd
I am deliberately avoiding punctuation, there, because adding it does not add any information that is not already present in the text in order to demonstrate the point: The punctuation is not necessary. The information was transmitted and recieved. We know it is recieved because it was 'harder' to parse, not 'impossible' to parse.

Is it nice to have? Maybe. Perhaps for some.
Necessary? Certainly not.
