The person you are quoting already conceded that is less readable, but that the ability to set a breakpoint easily (without having to stop the process and modify the code) is more important.
I myself agree, and find myself doing that too, especially in frontend code that executes in a browser. Debuggability is much more important than marginally-better readability, for production code.
