>You can predict which changes in the source code will lead to which exact changes in the behavior of the compiled program.

A vanishingly small percentage of coders are thinking about this when they're coding. Compilers do so many optimizations that most work-a-day programmers don't think about as well. If you're one of those people who care about the exact instructions coming out of your compiler, you're just inlining assembly.
