Another important objection against the current text is that it stacks a series of `and` and `or` operators at the same level of indentation, as though they naturally evaluate in the order the programmer writes them. In fact, they have different levels of precedence, and the code example violates the other sections of PEP-8 that ask for the creation of a visual distinction in code between different precedence levels.

The example needs to pivot towards a series of operators which belong at the same precedence level. I have used `+` and `-` because they seemed more natural to form an example from than something like division and multiplication.
